History of Cross Plains - Thomas Kilgore The following is excerpted from Goodspeed's History of Robertson County, TN, originally published in 1886. You can find the entire text online here. The first settlement in Robertson County {The facts in regard to Kilgore's settlement were condensed from the articles written by Dr. J. S. Mulloy, for the Springfield Record.} was made by Thomas Kilgore on the waters of the Middle Fork of Red River, three-fourths of a mile west of Cross Plains. The Legislature of North Carolina passed a pre-emption law securing to settlers of Tennessee 640 acres of land provided the settlement was made prior to 1780. In the spring of 1778 Kilgore left North Carolina with some ammunition, some salt, and a few grains of corn. Traveling on foot he passed through East Tennessee, and plunged into the wilderness beyond. Guided alone by the sun and the north star, he pushed on, seeing no white people until he reached Bledsoe's Lick, where he found a colony of six or eight familes. After resting a few days, he went on some twenty-five miles west where he located. As a safe hiding place from the Indians, he selected a cave a mile west of where Cross Plains now is. It had a bold stream of water running from it into the Middle Fork of Red River, and by wading the stream he could enter the cave without leaving a trail. After finding a location to suit him he kicked up some of the rich alluvial soil of the cane brake, and planted a few hills of corn. It is said that in order to secure his land it was necessary for him to remain until the corn matured, that he might carry a few ears back to North Carolina. He spent the summer in watching his little crop, meeting with several narrow escapes from the hostile savages. During this period he had no other food than the game which he killed. In the fall he gathered two or three ears of corn, returned to North Carolina, and had the title to his land confirmed. In the spring of 1779, with a few families besides his own, he returned to the spot, where he had passed the previous summer. A stockaded fort, "Kilgore's Station" was at once erected to protect them from the Indians. This fort was situated on a commanding eminence about three-fourths of a mile from Cross Plains. Kilgore's Station, from that time for years, was a land-mark in the overland emigration to Tennessee. In 1780 or 1781 Maulding's Station was built. It was located one mile west of the present Louisville and Nashville pike, and four miles east of Kilgore's. That was the next settlement in Robertson County, but the Indians were so hostile that they abandoned it for a time and united with the people at Kilgore's. Among the occupants of the latter station at this time were the Kilgores, Mauldings, Masons, Hoskinses, Jesse Simmons, Isaac Johnson, Samuel Martin, Yates, and several others. The first Indian massacres in the county occurred in 1781. A small colony had located in Montgomery County, near where Port Royal now is. In 1782 the Indians became very hostile. Samuel Martin and Isaac Johnson were attacked, surrounded and captured; Johnson afterward escaped and returned to the station. In the same year the young Masons, while watching for deer at Clay Lick, saw a party of eight or ten Indians [p.830] approaching. The young men fired and killed two of the number, and then fled to the fort. That night John and Ephraim Peyton, on their way to Kentucky on a surveying expedition, came to the station, having left Bledsoe's Lick in the morning. During the night the Indians stole all the horses at the fort. Pursuit was immediately made, the trail led across Sulphur Fork, and up one of its tributaries toward the ridge. About noon the pursuers overtook the thieves on the bank of the stream, fired on them, stampeded and recovered their horses. While returning to the fort the pioneers stopped at Colgin's Spring for water. Here they were attacked by the Indians, who anticipating this, had managed to get in front of them and were lying there in ambush. One of the Masons was killed and Joseph Hoskins, fatally wounded. The condition of the occupants of Kilgore's Station having by this time become so perilous, they abandoned it, and joined those at the Bluff, where they remained during 1783. The next year the colony, augmented by new accessions, returned. There they remained until Indian hostilities ceased, when they separated, and began forming independent settlements. Thomas Kilgore, after living half a century on the land which he had acquired by his heroic daring, died at the advanced age of one hundred and eight years. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vickie Miller Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2008 7:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [KILGORE] Long lived tough Kilgore Guy This is a version of the story of Thomas Kilgore who founded Kilgore Station in Robertson Co TN.

He wintered over in the cave. Come spring he planted his corn. Finally he harvested them and walked back over the mountains to VA/NC to formalize his claim. Then he talked some of his friends and towns folks into making claims next to his. He put a trading post on his "last stop for 2,000 miles". Anyway he became rich. When he was 105 or so he was taking his gun for repairs.

HI Cousins, Here is one story regarding Thomas Kilgore from 'The History of Robertson Co. Tenn. Enjoy...Jodi Most of Tennessee was hunting-ground for these groups before the white settlers arrived. Most permanent Cherokee settlements were in eastern Tennessee near the Tennessee and Holston Rivers. Permanent Chickasaw settlements were in northern Mississippi and western Tennessee, the Choctaws had permanent settlements in northeastern Mississippi and southwestern Tennessee, and the Creeks lived primarily in Alabama. By 1776, most Native American tribes in the area had decided to reclaim their land - now occupied by white settlers. The first known white settler in Robertson County was Thomas Kilgore who, in 1778, built a fort on the banks of the Red River near present-day Cross Plains. It is believed that Ezekiel Polk, grandfather of President James Knox Polk, settled on Sulphur Fork Creek, near the Red River, about two years later. Native American hostility was so great that he remained less than a year. Albert Virgil Goodpasture relates the following detailed account of Thomas Kilgore's early settlement: "The first settlement in Robertson County {The facts in regard to Kilgore's settlement were condensed from the articles written by Dr. J.S. Mulloy, for the Springfield Record} was made by Thomas Kilgore on the waters of the Middle Fork of Red River, three-fourths of a mile west of Cross Plains. The Legislature of North Carolina passed a preemption law securing to settlers of Tennessee 640 acres of land, provided the settlement was made prior to 1780. "In the spring of 1778, Kilgore left North Carolina with some ammunition, some salt, and a few grains of corn. Traveling on foot, he passed through East Tennessee and plunged into the wilderness beyond. Guided alone by the sun and the North Star, he pushed on, seeing no white people until he reached Bledsoe's Lick, where he found a colony of six or eight families. After resting a few days, he went on some twenty-five miles west where he located. "As a safe hiding place from the Indians, he selected a cave a mile west of where Cross Plains now is. It had a bold stream of water running from it into the Middle Fork of Red River, and by wading through the stream he could enter the cave without leaving a trail. "In the spring of 1779, with a few families besides his own, he returned to the spot where he had passed the previous summer. A stockaded fort, "Kilgore's Station," was at once erected to protect them from the Indians. This fort was situated on a commanding eminence, about three-fourths of a mile from Cross Plains. Kilgore's Station, from that time for years, was a landmark in the overland emigration to Tennessee. Thomas Kilgore, after living half a century on the land which he had acquired by his heroics, died at the advanced age of one hundred and eight years." [1] A number of families settled in the area over the next few decades, including the Forts, Gunns, Gardners, Norfleets, Bells, Gooches, and others. During this time, "war parties" ravaged the early frontier - killing white settlers and burning their homes. Despite the signing of a peace treaty as early as 1777, the brunt of attacks on Robertson County's early settlers did not come until the early 1780's, when several renegade groups of Cherokees and Creeks formed what became known as the "Chickamauga Nation," whose purpose was to reclaim their land. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vickie Miller Sent: Sunday, July 13, 2008 7:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [KILGORE] Long lived tough Kilgore Guy This is a version of the story of Thomas Kilgore who founded Kilgore Station in Robertson Co TN.
