Hi: Since we are taking a trip in Oct to NC & N - we are trying to decide where some of the Hinds lands were. In using the Topo Map CD by DeLorme - we have found two Hinds Valleys in TN - one in the very north of Knox Co. near the border of Union and Anderson Counties. It can be reached driving West from Halls Crossroads or east from Norris. The other Hinds Valley is in Roane Co. reached by driving Hwy 27 south from Rockwood or north from Roddy. I presume that the Roane Co valley is the one mentioned in this family: "John was a Revolutionary Soldier. In 1792 he came to Roane County, Tennessee, with his sons, Sylvanus, Joseph Simeon and John, Jr., and his two daughters. He acquired one thousand acres of land which became known as Hinds Valley." (This is the one that married Abigail Bayless and had a son Sylvanus that served in the War of 1812 and the Creek and Indian War.) Can anyone tell us about the other Hinds Valley in northern Knox Co? Where did it get its name. I have this timeline on my Levi, son of Joseph Sr. and wonder if this Beaverdam Creek is anywhere near this Knox Co. Hinds Valley. Feb 19, 1783 He sold his 200 acres in Randolph Co. NC to Hiram Geron 1786 On voting rolls in Washington Co. TN 1788 He rec'd a grant of 200 acres on the waters of Beaverdam Creek in Hawkins (now Knox) Co. TN Jun 24, 1793 Rec'd a grant of 980 acs in Hawkins Co near Blair Station July 29, 1793 Rec'd another 200 acs grant on Beaverdam Creek Oct 31, 1796 Sold the 200 acs above of Beaverdam Creek to Jesse Stubbs. Sep 17, 1796 Bought 183 acs on the W. Fork of Flat Creek from John (John who?) Feb 04, 1799 Sold same 183 acs to Boston Graves Dec 09, 1801 Bought 350 acs on the S. Fork of Beaverdam Creek from Thomas Jeffries; Feb 29, 1804 Sold the 100 acs on which he lived to Thos' brother, John Jeffries, but continued to live there; Oct 02, 1816 Sold another 50 acs to John Clibourn Before 1817 Moved to Wayne Co. KY Aug 28 1817 Made his will in Wayne Co. KY Jan 1818 Estate probated Feb 18, 1818 Sons Levi & Joseph sold his remaining 200 acre in Knox Co. TN to Samuel Tindle for $800.00. We cannot find a Beaverdam Creek - only Beaver Creeks. Regards, Nan Wolf [email protected]
