I have asked a couple of historians around here and so far haven't discovered any more info. Kitchens is not listed in the cemetery book of Evening Shade Cemetery. So, I doubt if he has a tombstone. A possible relative of his, Minerva Kitchen, is listed as a sister-in-law of Robert Wheeler, in the 1880 Sharp County, AR census.
Please let me know what you find. I find this very interesting!!!!!
