The wagon train was formed in Carroll Co. AR, but had people from other counties also. If you click onto genealogy and then onto Mitchell, you will see many Mitchells mentioned. One killed there is a descendant of Joab Mitchell. www.mtn-meadows-assoc.com Another good site for early Arkansas is http://www.rootsweb.com/~arcchs/ It tells about AR from it being a Territory to the first counties, etc. with early tax, census and marriage records.
