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 in alphabetical order. A companion article preserves the original signature order.
Caution: There is considerable variation between transcripts of the signatories of the Cumberland Compact. Three separate transcriptions have been examined, one showing 200 signatories, another 250, and the third 254. Some signatories are found on only one of the three lists. No one list can be considered exhaustive. The following is being reviewed to insert additional names based on this analysis.
