Nelda, although I am not in the Colvin family, I do know Colvins here in Arkansas. I just printed out your information to send to them. I though I had inf. on the Arkansas Colvins in a book, but I cannot find the book. My Colvins were in Bradley County, Arkansas. The one I know is Green Berry "Bing" Colvin III who lives in Monticello, Arkansas (Drew County)(next to Bradley).

The section around what was later Vienna was probably the first settlement. This was made by Daniel Colvin and his family about 1807. Other early settlers in this neighborhood were Phillip Brinson, Thomas Nelson, and the Rev. Mr. McFarland, who was the first Baptist preacher in this part of the state. Another early settlement was the one at Woodville, sometimes called the Redwine Community, about ten miles south of the Vienna settlement. Here the Redwines, the Hintons, the Grigsbys, the Smiths and the Iilands were some of the early families. Near what is now Choudrant there was a third early settlement, though probably later then the others, with the Wheats, the Roanes an the Rev. Abraham Pipes among the prominent people. Rev. Mr. Pipes was the first Methodist preacher to labor in this vicinity. - LINCOLN PARISH HISTORY: Historical Sketch of Lincoln Parish Contri! > buted by: Jo Autrey. > ------------------------------- > Census: 1840 Claiborne Parish, Louisiana > > Daniel Colvin 1000200100000--3100100000000--000000--000000--000000--000000 > > 1 free white male under 5 > 2 free white males 20-30 > 1 free white male 50-60 > 3 free white females under 5 > 1 free white female 5-10 > 1 free white female 20-30 > > Daniel and his family began the long trip to La in 1807 and records indicate that he was one of the first settlers to the N La area.

Most of these pioneers were members of Woodward Baptist Church and most of the rest were Baptists of other churches.
