Beginning 1780 many settlers moved from Southwest Virginia to Kentucky or to the Cumberland Plateau. The later settled in the area immediately surrounding Nashville, in the modern counties of Davidson, Bedford, Rutherford, and others. The earliest settlers "upon the Cumberland" formed a Compact stating rights and obligations.
The following table identifies the signatories of the Cumberland Compact, preserving the original signature order. A companion article provides an alphabetically ordered listing.
