Most of the settlers came to this country from Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia. They were tall lank mountain men. They looked like weaklings on account of their height and thinness but on the trail or in a fight they proved themselves far superior to the majority of larger, burlier men numerous times. The mountain man proved himself so hardy and adaptable to any surroundings that it soon became a legend that a mountain man could take a gun and an axe and live anywhere in comfort. The first families to settle here were the Bells, the Suttlers, the Reynolds, the Rippees, the Ellisons, the Fleetwoods (Adam “Add” Fleetwood my GG Grandfather), the Alsups, the Sheltons, the Collins, Kendalls, Huffmans, Pease, Tetricks, and Dobbs. Part of the people came because this was a new country to pioneer, part to hunt and trap, and part because they were wanted by officers at home and they were safe from the law here. Interview: July 14, 1938, W. F. Reynolds, active in county changes and politics, at his home in Ava, Mo.
