George Rogers Clark, while on his duties as U. S Commissioner to the Indians, visited this area, and prevailed upon his friends in Lebanon, Tenn., to settle on Long Prairie. (This area referred to is the area of SW Arkansas around Miller and Lafayette Counties) They came all the way by water, 11 families (including Thomas Dooley and family) in 10 keel boats, arriving here in 1818. They had come down the Cumberland and Mississippi rivers and poled up the Red around the Great Raft that obstructed it in Louisiana. They were perhaps the first white settlers on Long Prairie, and their descendants are here now. (The above information from an article prepared by the members of Lafayette County Historical Society in 1967.)

Samuel BARTON, Elizabeth's father, was a Virginian, that moved to Fort Nashborough (now Nashville, TN) when there were only four families settled there. He was one of the signers of the Cumberland Compact (you can find a copy of this document on the internet, showing his signature, along with all the others). He also signed the second Cumberland Compact. There is quite a bit of information on Samuel that is in the Tennessee Archives.
