Becoming very bored with current projects...which I still have to finish...I found a new, to me, reel of film at the Nat'l Archives today. The series number is M1062 roll 1 of 1 entitled, Correspondence of the War Department Relating to Indian Affairs, Military Pensions, and Fortifications, 1791-1797. Great stuff on the background politics of the Southern Indian Wars between 1791-1800 between various governors, the Secretary of War, Indian chiefs / headmen, and intelligence reports. I found, but could not copy due to the poor quality of the original, a list of approximately 120 people killed by Indians in Tennessee between January 1791 and sometime in 1792. The districts covered were Mero? and Washington. Since I will have to transcribe from film, this will take a few hours but I am so ecstatic about the find I wanted to tell everyone. Since all the lists I subscribe to had had people which ended up in TN, I thought it appropriate to "broadcast" the find. Some geographic names mentioned that I am totally unfamiliar with (and hoping someone can bail me out!) are: Bledsoe's Lick, Smith's Fork, Red River mouth, "new trace", Craft's Mills, Duck, Greenfield ( I think both are in Maury county) & Sumner Court House. Most of the streams seem to have been tributaries of the Cumberland River as that is mentioned often. If someone who knows how the old districts in TN were laid out while it was still a part of NC would email me that information, I would be grateful. Anyway, I should have it all transcribed tomorrow and on-line Sunday morning. I will let all know when it is completed. Best of wishes, Billy P.S. Some surnames so far: Pennington, Milligan, Berkley, Cockran, Viths, Wilson, Hickerson, Thompson, Gibson, [Heykenol?], Fletcher, Harry, Jones, White, Dickson, French, Grantham, Rice, Custis [Curtis?], [Sevier? 3 of them], Boyd, McMurray.
