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.

Mark Martin Forsyth was born in 1929 near the Upper Beans Creek, Franklin County, TN to William Barnett and Sally Phillips Glosson Forsyth.
In 1837 William Barnett Forsyth moved his family to Benton County, AR.
Mark Martin married Nancy Burnett in 1851, Benton County, AR. To this marriage they had 6 children, James Martin "Jim", Charles Tolliver "Charlie", Sarah Elizabeth, Mary Ann, John Lee and Martha Alice "Alice".
According to Civil War records, Mark and his two brothers, William Henry and Jones Bailey enlisted in the Army of the "Confederate States of America." In early May 1861, at a Confederate Army camp near the "Cross Hollows Community" in Benton County, Arkansas, Mark enlisted in the Confederate Army and was assigned to Company "F," a recently organized division of Hobb's regiment in the Northwest Arkansas Infantry. Mark and his two brothers participated in numerous battles. During the Civil War Mark participated in several major battles and skirmishes in Arkansas and Mississippi, and in 1863, he and his regiment were ordered to Corinth, Mississippi, there, to assist in the defense of the Confederate position. During the "Battle of Corinth," Mark and several members of his regiment were captured when the Union forces overran the city, however, shortly thereafter, Mark and his comrades escaped and rejoined their regiment near Vicksburg, Mississippi. After arriving near Vicksburg, Mark and his regiment were ordered to defend the Confederate bunkers overlooking the Mississippi river. After several weeks of intense fighting near Vicksburg, the Union Army finally captured the city on Saturday, 4 July, 1863, and Mark Martin Forsyth was recorded as one of the many Confederate troops taken prisoner there. Mark and his Confederate counterparts were then forced to march in the hot sweltry Mississippi heat sixty miles east of Vicksburg to the Union prisoner of war camp known and recorded as "Camp Big Black." Civil War records also indicate, on Thursday, 9 July, 1863, five days after being detained, Mark and numerous Confederate prisoners were pardoned at "Camp Big Black" in southern Mississippi. These records also indicate, Mark was pardoned by Captain S. W. Forgy, then awarded monetary compensation of $78.52 for back pay and one suit of Non-military clothing. then was ordered to return to his home in Benton County, Arkansas. In order to obtain his pardon, Mark, like numerous Union and Confederate conscripts during the Civil War, was required to furnish the Union Army an able bodied substitute not liable yo conscription as a replacement prisoner. As a pardon prerequisite, Mark was also required to sign and oath of allegiance to the United Stated of America declaring he would forever refrain from engaging in any future hostile or subversive military actions against the Union.
Tragedy struck in 1865, Mark Martin and Jones Bailey were murdered in the front yard of the old "Forsyth" family home in Benton County, AR, according to Forsyth family records. Mark and his brother Jones were murdered by 3 unknown assailants who had come to the old "Forsyth" family farm with the intentions of purchasing a horse. Mark and Jones were well known horse traders in early Benton County and often groups of men came to the farm to buy and sell horses. These assailants, like many men before them were considered to be legitimate customers; however, shortly after their arrival an argument erupted when one of the assailants accused Mark and Jones of trying to sell them a blind horse. For several minutes the argument ensued, however, realizing the assailants could not be satisfied Mark and Jones ordered them to leave their property.
After engaging in an unrelenting argument, Mark and Jones then escorted the assailants to the front gate of their property and there the argument resumed. After reaching the front gate the argument suddenly ceased, however, two of the assailants then drew their pistols and shot Mark and Jones dead, Mark, receiving a wound to the forehead, and Jones receiving one to his upper torso. According to Jones' widow when the gunfire erupted she grabbed her infant son and fearing for their safety she and her son then crawled beneath the bed and hid there for several hours. While lying under the bed Jones' widow heard the assailants as they loaded all of Mark and Jones' saddles, bridles and equipment into Mark's old family wagon and she also heard them as they rounded up several head of horses and headed off toward the Missouri border.
The culprits who murdered Alice's father and uncle were never identified nor apprehended for this heinous crime and their deaths were similar to many other deaths in early Benton County, AR. At first their deaths were thought to have been the work of carpetbaggers, however, later records prove they were simply a roving band of bushwhackers who often came down from the Missouri breaks and after assessing the value of these citizen's property murdered the citizens and returned to Missouri taking all the citizens valuable property with them.
According to the 1860 Benton Co, AR census dated July 1860, Jones Bailey and his wife Eliza Ann Cunningham-Forsyth were living in the Mount Vernon Twp. with Jones parents William Barnett and Sara Phillips Glosson Forsyth.

Martha Alice Forsyth was born May 11, 1863 Sugar Creek, Benton County, AR to Mark Martin and Nancy Burnett Forsyth.
As a young girl, Martha Alice Forsyth was called Alice by her parents and siblings and throughout her life was known simply as "Alice".
Alice's early life was filled with many tragic events. One of which occurred in 1865 when as a 2 year old child she contracted the dreaded typhoid fever. Alice's paternal grandfather William Barnett "Barney" Forsyth was summoned to her bedside and there "Barney" administered several types of medication. Alice's grandfather, "Barney" Forsyth was a self educated farmer and physician and during the great Civil War although aged, was called upon to administer medication to many confederate troops in Benton County, Arkansas.
After contracting Typhoid fever, little Alice Forsyth lay near death for several days, however vowing to save his little granddaugher "Barney" refused to leave her bedside and continually administered medication in hopes of saving her life. During the ensuing days, in spite of "Barney's" knowledge of medicine, little Alice's condition further worsened and her family, then fearing she would surely die, began making plans for her impending death. During this era, Alice's grandfather continually administered medication and herbs to little Alice and after approximately 10 days her condition improved slightly. After 3 weeks the fever disappeared and she was considered healed. Little Alice's recovery was considered a miracle.
In 1865 Alice's father Mark Martin Forsyth was murdered.
