Sellers in Arkansas From:GEORGIA chickflet@aristotle.net Indians had free reign in Arkansas until after the United States completed negotiations with the French for the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Prior to that, several French explorers came to the region with their parties in search of whatever loot they could find. None ever stayed for long periods of time. When the land came under the ownership of the United States, it was immediately opened for settlement at attractive low prices. The new opportunities beckoned thousands of earlier settlers of the mideast and southeast sections of the United States. The first comers were mainly of English, Irish and Scottish descent. Many came from nearby Kentucky and Tennessee. What is now Arkansas became part of the Missouri Territory in 1812. In 1819, when Missouri applied for statehood, Congress created the Arkansas Territory and included what is now Oklahoma. On 15 Jun 1836 Arkansas became the twenty-fifth state in the Union. The Panic of 1837 drained most settlers in the older southern and eastern states, many of them set out for the newly created state in the west to make a new start in life. The rich lands between the Arkansas and White Rivers attracted large groups of south European emigrants. Many came directly from Poland to establish themselves in Pulaski County. Italians were attracted to the northwest section of the state where they engaged in fruit raising. Lawrence County, in the northeast corner of the state, and Arkansas County, in the southeast corner, were settled before most of the other counties in the state. 1820 ARKANSAS CENSUS 1820 Clark County, AR - created 1818 out of Arkansas County. 1829 Sheriff's State Census p. 06: Nancy Silars p. 11: William Silars p. 12 Isaac Silars 1830 ARKANSAS CENSUS 1830 Clark County, AR - created 1818 out of Arkansas County.
