Barren Creek Township was created in 1858. No information as to what township(s) it was created from has been found.
This township appeared on only two census for Marion Co - the 1860 census with a population of 312 and the 1870 census with a population of 320.
It was annexed to Baxter County, AR in 1873.
I have been unable to locate a 1860 or 1870 map for Marion County, AR that includes townships.
