That would be in the vicinity of present day Kingsport, TN. BTW, Pickle Island was on the French Broad River? While in the area did you go into Sevier Co to see the islands where John Sevier crossed to go into Boyd's Creek? No doubt, since I live in that area, that Sevier & I have traversed the same lands, though over 200 years apart. Larry Shahan Kodak (Sevier Co), TN
