1850-1920
Occupations of Inhabitants of
Washington Township, Sevier County, Arkansas
Towns included: Paraclifta, Ben Lomond, Paraloma, Brownstown &
White Cliffs
While the majority of inhabitants in Washington Township were farmers (a not so wild guess would be about 95%), there were many others who helped towns grow and prosper. Below is a list of those I have found in the 1850-1920 Arkansas censuses.
