It had a gin mill, warehouses, and a watermill, and it was also the home of Captain John M. Liles, master and part owner of the Neches Belle.

Dr. Burr, according to the story handed down in the family, left his home in Mount Vernon, Ohio, in 1809, and with six other men, floated by houseboat down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Whether Dr. Burr left his companions in Arkansas and came overland to Natchitoches is not known, but at some time he visited what was known then as the Neutral Ground. He selected a site for a home and returned to Ohio for his bride. It is not certain when he brought his family to the site at the mouth of Pearl Creek, but the earliest date in the family cemetery is on a marker at the grave of Henry Burr, who died in 1828 at the age of fourteen, =================== Timothy Burr Sex: M Birth: 16 MAR 1784 in Wilbraham, Hampden, Massachusetts Death: 11 JUL 1852 in Burr Ferry, Vernon, Louisiana Burial: Burr Cemetery, Burr Ferry, Vernon, Louisiana Occupation: Medical Doctor Marriage 1 Mercy Roberts b: ABOUT 1788 in Hampden County, Massachusetts Married: ABOUT 1812 Children Gilman Bryant Burr b: 13 OCT 1813 in Knox County, Ohio Henry Burr b: 14 DEC 1814 in Knox County, Ohio Marriage 2 Rachel Hart Thrift b: 10 SEP 1800 in Knox County, Ohio Married: ABOUT 1816 in Knox County, Ohio Children Murray Wadsworth Burr b: 22 MAY 1828 in Mt.
