First, please plan to verify for yourself the accuracy of the following.I can’t post primary sources for some of the following and I’d hate to mislead anyone.However, to the best of my knowledge --
According to Federal Land records there were several Primms in southwest Arkansas in the years prior to the Civil War.
Charles Primm
John T. Primm
Mahala Primm
Nathan A. Primm
Nathan B. Primm (Nathaniel Barksdale Primm - my ancestor)
J.W.Primm (I don’t know his first name)
Charles L and James Primm were brothers
Charles L. Primm married Elizabeth Barksdale. James Primm married Mary BarksdaleElizabeth and Mary were sisters; their parents were Nathaniel Barksdale and Mary Allen.
Charles and Elizabeth were the parents of James W. Primm.James and Mary were the parents of Nathaniel Barksdale Primm.
Nathaniel Barksdale Primm had sons named James, John and Edward.Edward married Ann Virginia Caroline Ballard, who was the daughter of Solomon Ballard and Mary Elizabeth Dumas.
I haven’t traced the Dumas families at all, but there were many living in this area.
Could the following be “your” Olive?
------------
1910 Federal Census
Wesson Twp, Union County, Arkansas
household 227
Benjamin M. Dumas, 49 years old, born in Georgia
Alice O., 35, wife, born in Arkansas

--------------------
Wesson is just a few miles southwest of El Dorado; Junction City is on the Arkansas-Louisiana state line, just a few miles from Wesson and El Dorado.Three counties meet at Junction City - Union in Arkansas and Union and Claiborne in Louisiana.Columbia County, Arkansas, is just west of Union County, Arkansas.You may find Primm or Dumas families in any of the communities within a 25 or 30 mile radius of El Dorado.
I’ll try to help you sort through all this and we may be able to figure out where your families fit into the picture.Either post to this forum or e-mail me directly.
