Two postings in the past, I brought the story of Samuel Kerr Green up to 1830, as I tracked Samuel after he left Nashville and his Nashville-New Orleans trading firm Young, Green and Co. in 1820 or 1821 and went to south Louisiana. When I wrote that posting, I had thought that Samuel went directly from Nashville to south Louisiana. But as the last posting indicates, I was wrong in thinking this. As I discovered when I began delving into a number of references I had found to Samuel K. Green in records of Arkansas Territory in the 1820s, Samuel first went to Arkansas Territory when he left Nashville in 1820 or 1821, settling in Arkansas County along the Arkansas River not far upriver from the oldest settlement in Arkansas, Arkansas Post, which was the territorial capital up to 1821 and had been experiencing an economic and demographic boom right before Samuel went there.
