Big Spring Region
In 1810 there was a colony of twenty families led by Cornelius Hall, that settled in the Big Spring region of Crawford County, Indiana. Just who the nineteen other families were is not now known. A short time later a group came from North Carolina and settled west of this group. This group contained the names of ARCHIBALD SLOAN, a Revolutionary War Soldier, David Stewart a Christian Minister, Martin H. Tucker with his brothers, David H., and Fountain. Settling in the same region were the Rev. John Condra and the Gott family.[3]
