Archibald Howel & wfie Harriet sold to James Q. Morton, the Burchfield farm on Lee's Creek, 1859 - HISTORY OF CRAWFORD COUNTY by Clara Eno, Capt 5, pp.46-51. Another deed from John Burchfield & wife Catherine indicates they also sold their part of the Burchfield farm to Morton.
1850 Census: Archibald was living in Lee's Creek Township. He was 27, b. TN. Rachel H. was 25, also b. TN. Joseph S. 5 and Lutecia C, 2. Joseph was born in Tennessee, Lutecia in Arkansas. Isaac Birchfield, probably younger brother of Rachel, age 20, was living with them.
History of Crawford County, Arkansas, by Clara Eno has in Chapter 5 a list of brief deed abstracts. These were apparently compiled prior to the Crawford Co courthouse fire. It's regrettable that she did offer enough information, but her purpose seemed to be an attempt to identify wives.
John Burchfield of Jasper Township and wife Catherine to James Q. Morton, 1859
Archibald Howell and wife Harriet [Burchfield] to James Q. Morton, Burchfield farm on Lee's Creek, 1859
Joseph Burchfield and wife Elizabeth to James Q. Morton, 1859
It would seem these deeds might have been part of an estate and the Burchfield siblings were selling it to James Quin Morton.
Archibald Howell died of pneumonia.
