==Introduction==<br />
Prior to 1819 there was no place called [[Arkansas]]. In the below narrative, when I say "Arkansas" for any time before 1819, I mean that area which was in 1819 created as the Arkansas Territory.<br />
<br />
Prior to 1800, Arkansas was owned by Spain. From 1800 to 1803, Arkansas was owned by France. In 1803, by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase Louisiana Purchase], Arkansas and much more, was bought by the United States.<br />
<br />
In 1804, the part of Arkansas that would become Franklin County was called [[New Madrid]], in the Louisiana District of Indiana Territory. In 1805 the Louisiana District of Indiana Territory became the Louisiana Territory. In 1812, part of the Louisiana Territory was renamed the [[Missouri]] Territory. In 1813, Arkansas County was created in the Missouri Territory. In 1815, Arkansas County was divided into two parts, the upper part called Lawrence County and the lower retaining the name Arkansas County. The dividing line was the Arkansas River. So what is today Franklin County straddled both Lawrence and Arkansas, half in each.<br />
<br />
For early mentions of people and places in Arkansas, see the ''Arkansas Gazette'' [http://www.arkansasties.com here].<br />
<br />
==Settlement Pattern==<br />
The Louisiana Purchase and subsequent treaties with Indians to move away, gave to the Federal government all of the land in the state of Arkansas. Before the Federal government is willing to grant land to settlers, they need to do surveys. All the existing surveys are available to view in the BLM database [http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/SurveySearch/ here].<br />
<br />
==First Settlers==<br />
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batesville,_Arkansas Batesville] was the central Federal Land Office for Northern Arkansas, and all the early BLM grants were done from this office.<br />
<br />
==Marriages==<br />
Greene County was formed.<br />
<br />
At Arkansas there is a database called [http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=7845&enc=1 ''Arkansas Marriages, 1779-1992'']. This is not to be confused with another database they own called ''Arkansas Marriages, 1850-1900''. Or yet a third database called ''Arkansas Marriages, before 1850''.<br />
