Paschal County: ‘The Ghost County’ of Cass County
The area that includes present day Cass County was first organized in 1820 as Miller County, south of the Red River, Territory of Arkansas. Some Miller County records are located in Lewisville, Arkansas, Although a part of the province legally claimed by Mexico, the Mexicans had no interest in settling these north woods which they called The Department of Nacogdoches. Possibly too, they were never aware that Arkansas laid claim to it.
