EspañolLIST OF MEMBERS OF THE FANCHER PARTY
Main articles: Mountain Meadows massacre
The 'Fancher Party' (or ''Fancher-Baker party'') was the name used to collectively describe the American western emigrants from four northwestern counties in Arkansas who were the victims of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Sources estimate that between 100 and 140 men, women and children were killed on September 11, 1857 at Mountain Meadows, a rest stop on the Old Spanish Trail, in the Utah territory.
People the Fancher party left by the wayside along the way ended up traveling to their destinations in safety. If Missourians reportedly had ever been these trains' fellow travelers,[1]. none are known to share these Arkansans' fate.
(Various Arkansas trains associated with the Fancher party while on their journeys westward yet that did not perish with them include the ''Poteet-Tackett,'' ''Crooked Creek,'' ''Campbell,'' ''Parker,'' and [John S.] ''Baker''—as distinct from the [John Twitty] ''Baker''—trains.)[1]
