Abolished October 17, 1828 with the remaining portion becoming Washington County.{{cite web |url= http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~arwcags/LovelyCountyArkansas/LovelyCounty1.htm|title= Lovely County, Arkansas|first= James|last = McConaughy|publisher= Washington County Arkansas Genealogical Society (WCAGS)|access-date=2012-05-08}}

=[[Miller County, Arkansas Territory|Miller County]]=

Created from Hempstead County. Most of its northern portion was in Choctaw Nation (now part of Oklahoma); rest of northern portion was dissolved into Sevier County in 1828. All of its southern portion was in Texas, and was nominally dissolved into Lafayette County in 1838. The present Miller County was created in 1874 from an area that was part of Lafayette County before the former Miller County was dissolved.
