Comment: Daniel Martin was the first settler in Craighead County. Records in the United States Land Office in Washington, DC show that Martin first settled here in 1829 and post office records said he later was named postmaster here although there was no such name as "Jonesboro" at that time. Jonesboro was not founded until 1859.
