CHAPTER II 

Other Settlements In Southwest Missouri, Before The Organization Of Greene County-Kickapoo And 

Other Small Indian Tribes. 

"In February, 1830, J. P. Campbell and his brother-in-law, Joseph Miller, fixed up with their small 

families, and set out for Kickapoo prairie. Mr. C.'s family consisted of himself, wife and one child, Tabitha, 

then not a year old, who was afterward the mother of Lula, wife of Frank Sheppard. Mr. Miller's family 

consisted of himself and wife and two children. Rufus was one year old, and John, who is now a 

citizen of Ritchey, was twelve. They also had Six darkies, one five horse team and one Derbin wagon 

which was driven by John. (Madison C. did not move until 1832).... 

They journeyed via Nashville and Hopkinsville, crossing the Ohio at Golconda, thence over the south end 

of Illinois to Green's old ferry on the Mississippi. It being in February, they encountered great difficulties in 

crossing on the quantities of floating ice, but after making several trips across the river in an old, rickety 

piece of a flat, the wind being high and cold, they succeeded in landing safe on the Missouri side; thence 

they were obliged to almost cut their own road, but onward they went toward the West, by old Jackson in 

Cape Girardeau county, stopping one day to rest at old Col. Abram Byro's, five miles west of Jackson. 

Thence they proceeded on to Farmington, in St. Francois county, and by Caledonia, in Washington 

county, which was the last town, and it only contained one little store and two or three dozen inhabitants. 

Then on west, with scarcely any road, to the present site of Steeleville, in Crawford County, and on twelve 

miles further to Massey's iron works, which had not been in operation but a very short time, and so on to 

where Rolla now stands. Twelve miles farther on, they came to old Jimmey Harrison's , at the mouth of 

Little Piney, on the Gasconade, about four hundred yards south of the present Gasconade bridge. Mr. 

Harrison kept a little store for the accommodation of the few settlers up and down the Piney and the 

Gasconade ; that was also the courthouse for the whole of Southwest Missouri. and so it was the only 

post office until 1832. Thence west twenty miles brought them across the Pig Piney on to Roubideaux, 

now Waynesville, in Pulaski County. Continuing their journey, they went up the Gasconade river to the

mouth of the Osage fork, where they found a few white settlers --some of the Starks, Ballous, Tygarts, 

O'Neals, and one old `Jim Campbell,' who was sheriff of all of Southwest Missouri. This was in the 

neighborhood of the present Oldland Post office. From there they came on to Cave Spring, where they 

crossed the Osage fork, leaving it at the old Barnett place, from which they came to Pleasant prairie, now 

Marshfield, and striking James fork 20 miles east, thence down to Jerry Peirson's, where he had built a 

little water mill at a spring just below the Danforth place ; then on west they struck the Kickapoo prairie 

one mile east of the present Joe Merritt place ; thence five miles more brought them to the natural well a 

short distance north of the present public square of Springfield. Here they first camped on the 

night of the 4th of March, 1830.... 

23] 

In the meantime, Uncle Billy Fulbright had got about three weeks ahead of them, and stopped at the 

Fulbright Spring. His brother, John Fulbright, had settled at the spring where Capt. Geo. M. Jones now 

lives, and had a cabin up ;and his brother-in-law, A. J. Burnett, had succeeded in putting up a small 

oak-pole cabin l2x15, just on the spot of the old `Squire Burden residence. a little west of Mr. McElhany's. 

Mr. Campbell having had rather the oldest claim, by his name being cut en an ash tree at the well, Mr. 

Burnett gave way and went and commenced an improvement five miles east, at the Merritt place. Both 

Miller's and Campbell's families then moved into the pole cabin, the negroes having a good cloth tent to 

live in. This cabin had a splendid dirt floor.... 

[29] 

Joseph Miller settled at the spring, a short distance southwest of the city, where Mr. Beiderlinden 

has since lived, after which he sold out to Maj. Joseph Weaver, and removed to Sac river, thirty miles 

northwest of this city. Mr. Weaver came in March, 1830, from Marshall county, Tennessee, and first 

settled at the Delaware town, where he purchased and improved the farm now known as the Porter place, 

upon which he lived until his removal to the above named point. On this farm he remained three or four 

years before removing to the place known as the Weaver grove, two-and-a half miles west of town. After 

one or two other removals, he died in September, 1852, on the farm three miles northwest of the city.... 

Of his family of thirteen children, eleven were by his first wife, to whom he was married in Georgia. His 

second wife, and the mother of his two younger daughters, was the widow of Dr. Wm. Shackelford, who 

will hereafter be mentioned. Of the first family eight are still living, and one of the second. Of these J. J, 

and E. L. Weaver, and the wives of J. L. Carson and J. M. Griffith, all living in this city, are well and 

favorably known to most of our readers ; also another son, Thomas J. Weaver, who lives at the Weaver 

Grove. One brother, R. B., and two sisters, are living in Boone county, Arkansas, Mr. Weaver being at the 

present time the Representative of that county in the State Legislature. Joseph J. Weaver has taken a 

prominent part in the affairs of this city, having served two or three terms as Councilman from the Third 

Ward, and one year as Mayor. ... 

In 1831, Daniel B. Miller, a brother of Joseph, settled at what is still known as the Miller spring. in 

the northwest part of the city. and which furnishes power in the form of steam for the Springfield woolen 

mills. Here he made a field, which was afterward used as the Federal burying ground. He also cleared a 

small field in the 'bottom," where the depot of the S. & .W.M. R. R. now stands. Mr. Miller remained in 

Springfield until his death, which occurred in January, 1839.

Part 1 

First Settlers 

Major Joseph Weaver arrived in March, 1830, and bought out a settler near Delaware Town, where he 

lived three or four years. He then came Springfield and purchased the farm of Joseph Miller, the 

brother-in-law of J. P. Campbell, just southwest of the town. Mr. Miller had come in with his brother-in-law 

some four years before selling to Weaver. Mr. Weaver lived on this place some years, when he moved to 

a farm two and a half miles west where he died in 1852, His numerous descendants have always held a 

prominent place in the history of both the city of Springfield and of Greene county. [134] 

In 1831 Daniel B. Miller, a brother of Joseph Miller, settled in the northwest part of what is now 

Springfield, at a great spring, still called for him, "The Miller Spring." After serving as a water supply for 

the first Springfield woolen mill, which enterprise, soon died and remained with the brick building standing 

vacant for twenty years, this spring and a fine tract of land of twenty acres is now being turned into a city 

park, with a beautiful lake of several acres. Mr. Daniel B. Miller only survived some nine years, dying 

in 1839. Samuel Lasley came to Greene county with Daniel B. Miller and settled on Little Sac at the 

crossing of the Bolivar road. Spencer O'Neil, who had been one of the first men to take up claims in the 

Indian country, and had been forced to move away with the others in 1822, now returned and settled in 

the southwestern part of the county. Many of his descendants are citizens of Pond Creek, Republic and 

Brookline townships to the present day.

R. I. Holcombe, Editing Historian 

Chapter 29 

History of the City of Springfield 

Part 1 

Chapter 1 

"Joseph Miller settled at the spring, a short distance southwest of the city, after which he sold out to Maj. 

Joseph Weaver, and removed to Sac river, thirty miles northwest of the city... 

In 1831, Daniel B. Miller, a brother of Joseph, settled at what is still known as the Miller spring in the 

northwest part of the city, and which furnishes power in the form of steam for the Springfield woolen mills. 

Here he made a field which was afterward used as the Federal burying ground. Mr. Miller remained in 

Springfield until his death, which occurred in January, 1839.... 

At the Miller spring is a disappeared graveyard of six or seven persons of the Miller family. It is 

some eighty or one hundred yards east of the spring, may be a little southeast, now covered over with 

houses and fences. I am very sure they have never been taken up. The graves were near the foot of a 

solitary large black oak tree that then stood there, which was surrounded by a thick growth of young oak 

sapplings or bushes. They were buried there in 1831, '32, '33, '34, '35 and '36. 

About the middle of February, 1830, Wm. Fulbright, John Fulbright, and A. J. Burnett, from Tennessee, 

settled near the Fulbright spring, and put up some cabins, built of small oak poles. Previousty in the fall of 

1829, John P. Campbell and his brother, Madison, Tennesseans also, had "claimed" the land occupied by 

the Fulbrights, by cutting their names on some trees in the vicinity of the spring. Returning to Tennessee, 

J. P. Campbell and his brother-in-law, Joseph Miller, set out for Missouri in the month of February 

following, and on the evening of March 4th, encamped near the "natural well," a little north of the former 

residence of R. J. McElhany. Mr. Burnett having completed a cabin on the same site, and Mr. Campbell 

claiming priority of ownership, evidenced by his initials on an ash tree near the "well," Mr. Burnett was

compelled to remove and readily gave away and removed five miles to the eastward. Messrs. Campbell 

and Miller with their families, in all seven persons, took possession of the vacated cabin, 12x15 feet in 

size, while their slaves, six in number, dwelt for a time in a stout, comfortable tent, which had been used 

for sleeping quarters en route from Tennessee.... 

Among those who settled on and adjoining the present site in 1830 were Thomas Finney, Samuel 

Weaver, and Joseph Miller. In the next year came Daniel B. Miller, Joseph Rountree, Signey S. Ingram, 

Samuel Painter, and Junius T. Campbell. The latter opened a little store near where the public school 

building is now. His stock, a small and by no means a varied one, was hauled from Boonville. Mr. 

Campbell had a partner, one James Feland, an old Santa Fe trader.... 

The first settlers on the town site of Springfield were Wm. Fulbright, John Fulbright, A. J. Burnett, John 

P. Campbell and Joseph Miller, in February and March, 1830. 

The first house was a little pole cabin, built by A. J. Burnett, in January or February, 1830. It stood on the 

hill a little south of the old "natural well," and a little northwest of the present brick public school building, 

on Jefferson street. In size this cabin was 12x15 feet...A little later in the year 1831, Frank Miller, a son 

of Joseph Miller, was born in a house which also stood near the old well. He is now residing at San 

Diego, California. It is claimed, for these children, that they were the first whites born in Greene county. 

The first death was that of a child of Joseph Miller, in 1831. The body was buried under a large oak tree, 

near the Miller spring....Junius Rountree married Martha Miller, a daughter of Joseph Miller then 

living about one and a half miles west of Springfield, August 7, 1831. Not long afterwards Junius T. 

Campbell married Mary Blackwell, at a house a mile and a half southwest of Springfield. These are 

believed to have been the first marriages within the present limits of Greene county....The first school 

house was built in 1832. It was of small logs and stood where is now the old Christian church (used at 

present as a private residence), on the north side of College street, a little west of Main, and near where 

Gen. Lyon's general headquarters were, and where his dead body lay. But the first school house attended 

by children who then lived on the present site was built in 1831, and was also of small logs. Of this school 

house, John H. Miller says it stood a mile and a quarter west of town, and the first teacher was old uncle 

Joe Rountree; the pupils were Henry Fulbright and some of his younger brothers, the Rountree boys, 

John Miller, J. J. Weaver, and his two older sisters, Louisiana, late wife of Col. C. A. Haden, and Jane, 

mother of Joe Farrier, and a few others.... 

Chapter 33 

Campbell Township 

The first marriage in Campbell township, is said to have been the first marriage of white persons in 

Southwest Missouri. It was that of Junius M. Rountree and Martha J. Miller, and the marriage occurred 

August 7, 1831, at the house of the bride's father, Joseph H. Miller, in section 22, township 29, range 22. 

The ceremony was performed by Rev. Richard Kizee, a Baptist minister. The groom was a son of old 

Joseph Rountree, and the bride a daughter of old Joe Miller. The parties had been acquainted in 

Tennessee, the Rountree and Miller families being from the same neighborhood."

The first court in the county was held in the. barn of 

Evan S. Polk, northwest of Huntsville about one fourth of a mile. 

The contractor was Evan S. Polk, who 

burned the brick on his farm adjoining the town. The cost was about

$4,000. This building was burned by northern vandals in 1863. The 

records were taken to Springfield, Mo., and there lost or destroyed, 

in great part. 

Early History.-The southern part of the town site was originally 

entered by George Sanders, by whom the first house was built. The 

tract adjoining this on the north was entered by Evan S. Polk. John 

Sanders, brother to George, seems to have been most actively 

interested in having the town laid off. This was done in 1837 by 

Thomas McCuistion, county surveyor.
