We know that the first R.W. Eubanks family reunion was held
September 15, 1974
at the homes of Marvin
and Beluah Eubanks and their daughter Bernice Brigham in the
North New Hope community, northwest of Dover, Arkansas.
BUT, who was R.W. Eubanks, how did he end up
in Arkansas, and who were his ancestors?
I'm sure someone out there has more information than I, but
what I have is shared here with the hope that you may share
any information you may have.

Carolina, moved to Tennesse between 1803 and
1808. He married S.F. McPhearson and they had 8
children, none of which were born in Arkansas. At some
point he moved his family to Johnson County, Arkansas and
