      William Barnett Forsyth was b 19 Nov 1790 in Orange, NC and d 1866 in Sugar Creek, Benton County, AR. His parents were Dr. William Barnett Forsyth Sr. 1758-1819 and Mary Brady 1763- On 2 Feb 1816 he married Sarah Phillips Glosson in Orange, NC. (Source: NC Marriage Bonds 1741-1868 # 000096825 Orange Co. Bondsman H Stroud Witness J Taylor—Family History Library Salt Lake City, UT.) Sarah was b 7 April 1794 in SC and d 1878. They were known as "Barney & Sally."
      His occupation is listed as a farmer and he farmed over 2000 acres of prime farmland. In 1819 he sold his property in NC and moved to Franklin County, TN in the early 1820's. While still living in Orange, NC they had two daughters, Nancy b 16 Dec 1816 and Mary Ann b 1818.
      A reason for moving to TN might be that his brother James was already living there. The deed records of Franklin County, TN indicate that Barnett Forsyth purchased one hundred twenty-five acres from William Martin for the sum of $800.00 on 21 Sept 1824.
      Evidently, Barnett farmed the land, and he and Sarah continued to raise their family, as seven more children were born in Franklin County, TN
      Alfred's father, John Deen, owned land that joined the Forsyth land.
      An Indenture was made 3 March 1834 by Barnett Forsythe to Alfred Dean, his son-in- law one hundred acres and personal property; five slaves and other goods.
      Barnett Forsyth is documented in the Franklin County records as being a witness to the will of John Gilliam on 17 Aug 1825 and a witness to the will of Mary Wilson on 5 March 1831; however, the last record we have of Barnett Forsyth in Franklin County, TN was recorded in the deed records of Franklin County, showing Barnett Forsyth selling fifty acres of land to William Stephenson for the sum of $800.00 in March 1832.
      Apparently, the urge to go west in search of a better way of life led Barnett and some of his neighbors to Benton County, AR. In 1837 they moved from TN to AR by wagon train. Barnett Forsyth and many of his fellow TN neighbors banded together, formed a wagon train, and headed west toward the northwest Arkansas Territory. According to the early AR History, most of Benton County's original settlers came from Bedford, Bledsoe, Davidson, Franklin, Giles, Haywood, Lincoln, Rutherford, Hawkins, Hancock and Wilson Counties in Middle and Eastern Tennessee.
      According to the Forsyth Family History, one of the original organizers of the Westward Movement from TN to the Northwest AR Territory was Barnett Forsyth. Some Forsyth-Forsythe family historians believe Barnett was one of the organizers of this wagon train because family records indicate he was chosen to be one of the leaders of this train.
      The Forsyth Family Records of Sarah Phillips (Forsyth) (Miser) Hart, a daughter of Barnett Forsyth, indicates Barnett led the wagon train across the western TN wilderness to the land of AR. Sarah's records also indicate Barnett and his neighbors were forced to wait approximately six months before they were able to cross the mighty Mississippi River. According to Sarah's records, prior to their arrival at the mighty river, Barnett and his group had never seen the Mississippi, and because it was over a mile wide, they sent out scouts to search for a safe place to cross. The scouts were gone for several days. When they returned they reported the river was even wider upstream than it was at their present location.
