Jefferson Pinkney Linder is one of the enterprising and industrious agriculturists of this region, and is a son of Abraham W. and Itea (Templeman) Linder, the former of whom was born in Spartanburg District, S. C. He was of English (that is incorrect it should be, German) descent, his grandfather having emigrated from England (incorrect) to America 'before the outbreak of
the Revolutionary War, and took an active part in that struggle on the side of the Colonists. He settled in North Carolina, and there reared his family, his son John, the grandfather of our subject, being born there (incorrect, born in Va.). He was married in that State and at an early day removed to South Carolina where his son was educated and grew to manhood. He was also married there and eight of his children were born there prior to the year 1844. After which they moved to Alabama and settled in Benton County, where four more children were given them. Their names are as follows:
John A. (born July 18, 1823),
CaIvin D. (born July 1, 1825),
Elizabeth Ann (born July 10, 1827),

The father and mother of these children were born on September 23, 1803, and February 27 , 1807, respectively, and in 1857 they came to Arkansas. Abraham Linder and his sons were opposed to secession, but Lewis M. and Austin A. espoused the Confederate cause after the ordinance of secession had been passed, and served as members in a company of Arkansas Volunteer Infantry. Lewis M. died of measles while at home on a sick furlough, and Austin was mortally wounded at the battle of Helena, Ark, on July 4, 1863, and was taken from the field where he fell by the Federals to a hospital at Memphis and there he died. Jefferson Pinkney Linder (our subject) was reared to farm life and received his education principally in the subscription schools of Atlanta, whither his father had moved from South Carolina. He embraced religion at the age of twenty-one years, and is now a member of the Presbyterian Church. On Dec. 4, 1861, he was married to Miss Lucinda Jane Shelton, a daughter of John F. and Martha Payne (Milam) Shelton, of Shelby County, Tenn., her birth occuring in that county on May 8, 1846. The names of their children are here given:

Thomas J. was married to Miss Fannie Dennis, of Henderson County, Tex, on December 23, 1886, and is now farming in Monroe County, Ark. Laura E. became the wife of S. N. Trotter, and lives in Monroe County, Ark. Margaret Itea bore one child by her husband J. W. Acree, but is now separated from him by mutual consent. Mr Linder has been noted for his industry and thrift, and on commencing life these constituted his capital stock and well he has made use of them, being now the owner of 360 acres of land, his first purchase being only 80 acres. He has 100 acres under cultivationand makes a specialty of stock raising,his mules being of a fine grade, and he also has some very fine horses of the Tone Hal breed. Mr Linder was troubled for some time with a scrofulous white swelling on one of his legs which finally resulted in the loss of that member, the operation being performed in 1879. He is a man possessing a fund of useful information and is a Democrat in his political views. Himself and wife and four children are members of the Baptist Church.

JOHN R. LINDER: White County Arkansas History
John R. LINDER, attorney at law of Beebee, has
spent his life in Ark., his birth having occurred in
White Co., Jan. 6, 1870, his parents being Jefferson
P. & Lucy J. (SHELTON) LINDER. The family has
long been represented on American soil. The paternal
grandfather, Abraham LINDER, was a native of
the Spartanburg district of S. Carolina & was a well
educated man, who devoted his life to teaching in
his native state for a number of years and then made
an overland trip with ox team & wagon to Ark.,
crossing the rivers on ferries. This was in 1858 &
after reaching this state he contiued in the teaching
profession, being connected largely with private
schools. He married a Miss TEMPLEMAN, a native
of South Carolina, who died about he year 1864,
while his death occurred in 1874, when he was 70
years of age.
Their son, Jefferson P. LINDER, came with his
parents to what was then Conway Co., Ark. in 1858.
He was there married to Miss Lucy SHELTON, who
was born in Shelby county, Tenn., and who went
from Memphis to Des Arc, making the boat trip in
order to visit her sister, but owing to the hostilities
between the north & the south she could not return.
She became aquainted with Jefferson P. LINDER &
they were married in what is now Faulkner Co. Subsequently,
they removed to White Co. where Mr.
LINDER purchased wooded land, which he cleared
& developed, carrying on general farming & stock
raising. During the last 10 years of his life he also
preached to a considerable extent throughout the
community, he & his wife being members of the
Missionary Baptist church. His political endorsement
was given to the democratic party. He died
July 27, 1903, at the age of 64 years, while his wife
departed this life Aug. 11, 1910, at the age of 63
years. They had a family of 12 children, 5 of whom
are still living:
Laura, the wife of S. M. TROTTER, a farmer of Lamar, Ark.;
John R.;
Charles, who is farming in White Co;
Oscar B., a barber of Calif.;
and Albert, also farming in White Co.
Those who have departed this life are:
Thomas J., who died in Monroe Co., Ark., in 1889, at the age of 21 years;
Maggie, who was the wife of J. W. ACREE & died in 1919, at the age of 47;
2 who died in infancy;
Myrtle & Belmer, who died at the age of 2 years; &
Berley, who died when 16 years of age.
John R. LINDER is indebted to the public school
system of White Co., Ark., for the educational opportunities
he enjoyed. He remained at home until he had
attained his majority & began reading law at the age
of 18 years. He entered upon practice in the judicial
court & in 1901 was admitted to practice in the district
& circuit courts. He opened his law office in
Beebee where he has continued in the general practice
of law & has been connected with much important
litigation. He is also numbered among the lawmakers
of the state, having served in the general assembly
in 1905, through election on the democratic
ticket. He gave thoughtful & earnest consideration to
the vital questions which came up for settlement & at
all times he has been actuated by devotion to the general
good in his attitude toward all public questions.
Mr. LINDER was married to Miss Mattie E.
HILL, a native of White Co., Ark., and they have become
parents of 9 children, 6 of whom are living:
Harvey, now residing in Pittsburg, Penn., where he is
engaged in vocational training, is a veteran of the
World war. He enlisted in St. Louis in the regular
army in 1917, was at Jefferson Barracks & later was
sent to Boston, Mass., where he was in training. He
then went overseas & was connected with the Medical
Corps in France for 6 months. After his return
home he again went to France, where he married a
French girl; Pearl, the second of the family, is the
wife of W. E. DAVIS, a farmer of Beebee, Ark.; Bernard,
who is bookkeeper with the Buckeye Cotton Oil
Co. of Little Rock, married Marie WESTBROOK, a
native of Ark.; Robert is following the profession of
nursing at Little Rock; Earnie & Mabel are at home.
Ruth & Thomas died at the age of 2 months & 3
years, respectively, while one child died in infancy.
The religious faith of the family is that of the Baptist
church & Mr. LINDER is serving as clerk. He also
belongs to the Woodmen of the World. The greater
part of his time and attention is given to his profession
& he has made steady progress in a calling
where advancement depends entirely upon individual
merit & ability. He is a close student of the principles
of law & is seldom, if ever, at fault in the application
of these principles to the point in litigation. (Source:"A
