Found this on the Fulton Co, Arkansas site. This is my great aunt Mary
Carr, daughter of John Carr and Elizabeth Emmert of Sullivan Co, TN. The
passage is from the Goodspeed book for this part of Arkansas.

James Dinwiddie is a man whom nature seems to have especially fitted to be a
farmer, for he has met with good success in his farming operations. He was
born in Greene County, East Tenn., on the 14th of August, 1856, and is a son
of Calvin and Mary (Carr) Dinwiddie, the former being also a native of East
Tennessee, his birth occurring February 23, 1828. He was a school teacher in
his youth, and by trade was a tailor, and these occupations he followed in
his native State until 1859, when he moved to Arkansas. While at Greenfield,
Mo., in 1864, he was captured by the Federal troops and taken to
Indianapolis, Ind., where he died the same year from the effects of a wound
received from a sabre at the time of his capture. He was a son of James H.
Dinwiddie, who died in East Tennessee, Mary (Carr) Dinwiddie was born in
Knoxville, Tenn., April 5, 1836, and died in Arkansas on the 13th day of
December, 1885. Of her two children, James, the subject of this sketch, was
the elder. His youth was spent in Arkansas, and in this State his early
scholastic advantages were enjoyed, though only such as the common schools of
that period afforded. He has resided in Fulton County since February 11,
1862, and has thoroughly identified himself with the interests of this
section, owning an excellent farm comprising 160 acres of land. He is
industrious and enterprising, and his present farm denotes him to be
possessed of thrift and energy. He is a Democrat in his political views. Miss
Elizabeth Taylor became his wife on the 16th of February, 1888. She was born
in Fulton County, Ark., in 1871, and is a daughter of C. C. and Mary Taylor,
both of whom are now deceased.
