Eritha McCaleb granddaughter of Joseph Huchingson Saline Co., Arkansas
I am researching Eritha McCaleb b. 30 Jan 1819, probably Hickman Co., TN. She married Vaughn Lafferty 3 Apr 1842, Saline Co, Arkansas. According to Pioneers and Makers of Arkansas, 1908, she was the grandaughter of Joseph Hutcheson, of Saline County, Arkansas: "Vaughn Burr Lafferty, married Eritha McCaleb of Hickman County, Tennessee, a granddaughter of that other old pioneer, Joseph Hutcheson, of Saline County, Arkansas." (I also have information to this effect from Lafferty descendents.)
As far as I can tell, there was only one Joseph Huchinson in Saline Co. on the 1840 census. He was age 70-80 and seems to be the Joseph Huchingson who was on later censuses and is listed in various posts on this site.
The 1850, 1860, and 1870 censuses all list Eritha's birth place as Tennessee.The unverified information I have is that she was the daughter of John McCaleb and a Miss Huchinson of Hickman Co., TN. There actually was a John McCaleb in Hickman Co. He was born 1789 and married about 1809/1810. His wife was likely born abt. 1790/1792. Unfortunately, her name is unknown and she died before 1840. If Eritha was the grandaughter of Joseph Huchingson, it is possible that Eritha's mother was Joseph's daughter Sarah b. 1792. (John McCaleb did name a daughter Sarah, but that name was pretty common.) I have an old internet post that lists Sarah Huchingson as married to a McCaleb, but I have not been able to contact the poster for verification.
One of the common migration routes into Arkansas was Georgia to Tennessee to Alabama/Mississippi to Arkansas. Is there any indication that this was the route Joseph Huchingson took?
Does anyone know whether Joseph Huchington's daughter Sarah married John McCaleb in Tennessee?
