(Davis) Arrington, natives of Georgia and Tennessee, respectively. The father is of English descent, and a farmer by occupation, and emigrated to Arkansas in the fall of 1857, locating in this county, which was then Hempstead County, and here he died the following spring. The mother is still living. They were married in 1841, and she was the daughter of Andrew P. and Elizabeth Davis, who were of Scotch descent. Of their union were born seven children, of whom five are still living, viz.: Samuel A., Elizabeth (Mrs. Barham), Columbus J. and Eveline (Mrs. Fincher). The subject of the present sketch has been a resident of this State since his tenth year. He enlisted in the late war in the Twelfth Arkansas Infantry, under Col. Grant, and continued to serve until the close of the war, and figured in several prominent battles, but without being either wounded or captured.
