According to Smith and Driver...page 27
"Settlers began to comein the county as early as 1814. Many of the easterners,
especially of Virginia, had emigrated to the Carolinas and there being dissatisfied with
local conditions, especially slavery, had come on into the then unsettled valley of the
Mississippi. Among these settlers were the Wrights and the Ways, who started their homes
along White river in and around Winchester. The Parkers, Thomases and Wilcutts came
father north and settled first in Wayne county, and then moved on over what is now the
southern boundary of Randolph county. These people being Quakers and religiously opposed
to slavery had left the Carolinsa because of that institution, and came into the middle
west to establish homes free from its pernicious influences.
By 181 enough settlers were in the northern part of Wayne county to justify the
organization of a new county, complete account of which is given under the Chapter of
'Organization,' in this volume.
Courts were established and the wheels of government started.”
