Hello: I have come across information that my great granduncle James A. Duncan was enumerated on the 1870 Claiborne County census. If someone has access to this census, I would sincerely appreciate a lookup. He is supposedly listed on page 219 with his wife Margaret (Rollins) Duncan. The surname may be spelled DUNKEN. Many thanks for any help! Sincerely, Wayne Duncan List Administrator SWVA-NETN-SEKY-CHAT-L Website: http://www.hillsandhollers.net

The continued diplomacy of Governor John Sevier prevented the situation from escalating into a catastrophe'. .......... Comments?.... --------------------- Knoxville, 20th December 1797 Circular To the inhabitants who lately resided on what is called the Indian Lands near the Tennessee River. Gentlemen: It may appear unto you as some neglect in me by not sending forward into the Cherokee nation a person agreeable to the instructions of the General Assembly; in order to apologize for the delay, I hope it will be sufficient to make known unto you that I am well informed that all the principal chiefs have for some time past been in the woods hunting, and until they return it will be useless to send any person into their country. So soon as I am informed of their return, you may rest assured I shall dispatch the gentlemen appointed, and will with great pleasure render you every kind of assistance that may be in my power. I have the honor to be, etc. /s/ John Sevier. ----------------------- Knoxville, 7 January, 1798 The People of Powell’s Valley Gentlemen: Your letter of the 4 Instance, I am duly honored with; nothing ever came before me that could yield me more pleasure than it would to render you relief on the present distressed situation of you, and your families. I have done all the Assembly empowered me to do, which was to send forward their memorial and address in your behalf; the same has been laid before the President, and Congress; and it is thought by some of our members that relief will certainly be extended towards you; and I feel a strong certainty, in my own mind, that your sufferings will surely meet with a remedy, In the mean time, I know nothing better to advise you than to hear your misfortunes with patience, and fortitude, until you hear the result of Congress on the subject. It is painful to me in the extreme to hear of your hardships and sufferings, and was it in my power to render your redress, God knows nothing could give me more satisfaction than to do it, in the most speedy manner. /s/ John Sevier ------------------- Knoxville, 1 February, 1798 The Inhabitants of Powel’s Valley Friends and Fellow Citizens: It is with much pleasure I announce to you I have just received the pleasing information from our members in Congress, that your grievances and sufferings will shortly be redressed. Your submission to the laws and orders of the General Government has gained you great reputation, and contributes very much to your interest on the present occasion; and a continuance o fa similar conduct cannot leave a shadow of doubt but you will inevitably be relieved from your distresses, which is the sincere wish of your friend. /s/ John Sevier ----------------------- Knoxville, 12 April, 1798 The People lately removed from Powel’s Valley Friends and Fellow Citizens: By late accounts from the delegation of this state, I have received information that the treaty is to commence as early as possible, and particularly in time, they expect, for you to return to make your summer crops. The goods for the treaty as I am now informed are now in this state, coming onto this place, and I expect that the Commissioners will arrive in a day or two. By the general government there is a large sum appropriated for the purpose of extinguishing the Indian claim, and I have no doubt but that it will be effected. Thus gentlemen you see the disposition of the government is to relieve your distresses; and, as such is the case, permit me to recommend to you patience and fortitude, hoping, as I do, that a very short period will relieve your sufferings and reinstate you all at your homes and plantations. I sincerely lament your sufferings, and shall always conceive it my duty, and feel a happiness in rendering you every service in my power. /s/ John Sevier ------------------------ (NOTE: As “early as possible” was October, 1798 at the Treaty of Tellico) ------------------------ Knoxville, 19 November, 1797 Mr. John Hunt Powel’s Valley Sir: Yours of yesterday I am honored with, and am sincerely sorry for your embarrassed situation, and would I to God I had it in my power to render you relief. You may assure yourselves that every thing will be done for you that is possible by me; but it in the President’s own power to do whatever he may think best on this very important and alarming occasion. I hope in three or four weeks to hear from Congress, and whether or not any thing is likely to be done in your favour, in the mean time I earnestly beg the people for their own interest to conduct themselves in a peaceable, orderly, and prudent manner. /s/ John Sevier

John Hunt was a very prominent person in early GRAINGER and CLAIBORNE County history, and a citizen of Tazewell. Note here that he used the address as Russell's Creek, which is the present day site of Tazewell.

The answer to the army was posted in the Knoxville Gazette. The names of the men that wrote the letter are not familiar names to this researcher. They were evidently scholars of the English language and the skilled in understanding the current laws of the new state of Tennessee that existed at that time. ------------------------- February 27, 1797 Knoxville Gazette To Captains Richard Sparks and John Wade. Citizen Soldiers, Your address of February 2d, 1797, to the people residing on lands to which the Indian claim is not extinguished, we have seen, and considered with all the attention that a subject of so much magnitude and delicacy requires. The civil manner, gentlemen, in which you have begun, and we hope will continue to execute your orders, excites sweet emotions I our breasts. We cannot help expressing our warm acknowledgments to you, for the pains you take to convince us, that our settlements are not tenable on the principles of law. Your amiable characters have preceded you -- we know you are the brave Captains Sparks and Wade who fought and conquered our savage enemies of the north, under the banners of the heroic Generals Wayne and Wilkinson. It was not from refractory or disorderly dispositions we were influenced to take possession of the lands we now occupy. We had regard to the laws of nature, of nations, the statutes of North Carolina (the state from which ours emanated) and to our own civil code. The constitution of the state of Tennesssee, in the 31st Article of the bill of rights, guarantees to the people residing south of French Broad and Holston, between the rivers Tennessee and ig Pigeon, the right of pre-emption and occupancy in that tract. Congress recognized that constitution in all its parts, by receiving the state into the federal union. Many of us hold grants for our lands, legally obtained from the state of North Carolina, whilst under her jurisdiction. Under these plausible claims, we settled ourselves on the lands from which you command us to remove. Although we anticipate the pungent grief we shall feel, on being obliged to leave our little farms, and on hearing the cries of our children forspread, which we shall not be able shortly to [illegible] for them, yet we mean to bear with all the fortitude we can, the wrongs of the general government, hoping they will ere lng become more just and generous to her suffering citizens. Oh! how we long for such wise, humane, and well-informed men as Jefferson and …………, we know not who to place with him at the helm, to steer the ship of the commonwealth. In discussing the scheme of the federal government in America, in which, by the most admirable contrivances, justice seems to be so impartially administered, property so well guarded, and liberty so effectually secured, that in theory it seems impossible that any people under such wise regulations, can possibly fail of being happy, virtuous, and free; but experiment convinces us, that they are adequate to these salutary purposes; our errors have arose from reasoning on false premises, that is, from supposing that Congress and her ministers would act on principles incompatible with the vices, the follies, and passions of human nature. By the funding system, wealth is collected into the hands of the few, By the land laws of the United States, those few are enabled to monopolize all the lands, and the poor must become tenants at will. Was it for such regulations and laws as these, oh Americans! you fought and bled? Congress of the United States, learn to do justice, and we will then reverence your laws. Suffer us to possess the property we have legally paid for. Permit us to hold lands I fee, without being tenants at will of domineering landlords. Legislators of the great American republic, is it nothing to you to see our wives and children, who, by their industry, have hitherto lived in affluence on their own farms, beggared by your unconstitutional laws? We say your laws are unconstitutional, because they deprive us of property for which we had a legal right before the treaty of Holston. Do you feel no remorse at our impending ruin? Are you callous to our sufferings? Accustomed to wallow in luxury -- you cannot feel for the distresses of the poor. Legislators and ministers of the American government, if you cease not your land monopolies, and other oppressive acts, a reform will take place, which, by its convulsions, may involve you in its ruins. You are making large strides to aristocracy. The name of landlord sounds harsh and grating to the ear of republican. When any public business is to be transacted in this country, you neglect to appoint citizens of our state. This is degrading, as if we had neither men of virtue or business among us. In this you are mistaken. We have philosophers, politicians, and soldiers. In a matter which so nearly concerns us, as the running the boundry line between us and the Indians, you ought to have appointed commissioners, on our part, out of the state of Tennessee. We cannot have confidence in foreigners, and perhaps some o fhtem holding commissions in the Indian department. We have now, gentlemen, delineated to you the outlines of our claims. We have also stated, in miniature, the wrongs we are about to sustain from the operations of the general government. A volume would not contain the reasonings we cold [could] advance on the justice of our claims. The earth was created for the use of man. We could plead purchase, occupancy, conquest, and relinquishment by the aborigines; but all those reasonings we suppose would be in vain. Power is in the hands of the general government, and we are disposed to obey her will for the present. ------------------

Knoxville, 17 February 1797 Gentlemen: It appears that the Secretary of War is fully determined to ensure all those who are settlers outside the treaty line be removed. I hope my sincerity will not be doubted when I assure you that I sensibly feel for you the disappointments, troubles and distresses such a removal will cause many of the poor inhabitants settled in Powell Valley to undergo, had I it in my power to afford and yield you any relief it should be cheerfully and readily granted.

Evidently, my first messages I sent regarding the Records of John Sevier did not go thru. I will resend them all over.

Fellow Citizens, Fully impressed with a just sense of the duty enjoined upon us, by the President of the United States, thro’ the secretary of war, and duly empowered to pursue a line of conduct, which will conform to an act of Congress, passed the 19th day of May, 1790 “entitled an act to regulate trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and to preserve peace on the frontiers,” (to which no doubt you have all had reference) we have come forward, and now address you, in full confidence of your treating the subject, coolly and dispassionately. It is not our wish to enter rashly upon the duty assigned us; nor do we conceive there will be a necessity for it; and in order, therefore, to give you full time to prepare your minds for the event, we have deemed it proper notify you, that on or about the 20th instant, we shall meet you at YOCUM’s Station, where we hope your numbers will be full and respectable, and your tempers calmly disposed to argue on a subject which involves in itself consequences of material magnitude to the Union at large, and to you in particular. We are assured, that the reflection of a moment will evince to you, how much better it is, to observe a strict obedience to the laws, than, by a refractory disposition, involve your fellow citizens in the tumults of anarchy, and probably in the horrors of war, and create in your own minds a self reproach, which will forever be felt. Fellow Citizens, At our meeting, we shall not scruple to read to you, the instructions we have received, and by which we are to be governed; and after your hearing them, we cannot admit of a doubt, but that you will I a given time remove to that side of the line to which we have a just claim, and save the necessity of any unnecessary altercation.

It appears from the reading that the settlers were removed from their homes at least for a temporary time in the early part of 1798. This is not evident in the Grainger County Court minutes, however, from the letter of John Sevier it either happened, or he was made to think it happened. Any comments about the letter where he addresses it to the People of Powell Valley lately removed from their lands. Steve
