There are records for some other Bostics in the same area of Arkansas County, which I have not been able to connect. They were there at least one generation before Robert. The following marriage record is probably for a member of the same family. Prairie County is just north of Arkansas County, where Robert lived around St Charles, on the White River, and nearby DeWitt.
