Tennessee (Davidson County), Nashville — Founding of Nashville On Monday, April 24, 1780, two pioneers, James Robertson and John Donelson, shook hands upon the completion of a reunion at the site on which you now stand. Each man, one by land, the other by water, played out in a two-fold plan for a new settlement that grew into present-day Nashville. Robertson, at the head of his mounted band of 226 frontiersmen, traversed the long, circuitous overland route through Kentucky and Tennessee down to the Great Salt Lick. His group arrived on Christmas Day, . . . — Map (db m24379) http://www.hmdb.org/results.asp?County=Davidson%20County&State=Tennessee Tennessee (Davidson County), Nashville — 3A-36 — Cockrill Spring The house of John Cockrill, an early settler, stood about 60 yards north, near a large spring, whose waters ran northeast into Lick Branch, which emptied Great Salt Lick, around which Nashville was founded. A blacksmith shop stood under the great oak tree nearby. The spring was a stopping place for travelers along Natchez Trace. — Map (db m12765 http://www.hmdb.org/results.asp?County=Davidson%20County&State=Tennessee General James Randolph Robertson removed to the settlements into what becomes Tennessee, his sister is married to a Johnson who died at French Lick 1779 Dec. 6 Michael Rogers, "... a Witness thereto...," proved a bond before the Wake County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, in the amount of £1000, "...from James Robertson, John Robertson Charles Robertson & David Johnston to Dempsey Powell ..."for the remaining interests in the Neuse River land http://www.robertson-ancestry.com/1221-vg-02.htm A Kinsman of one of my McElyea fore fathers one Great Grand Uncle James McElyea first settled lands in what becomes the State of will be found on the boats of Col.

(per the book written by Clara Bell Hunter McElye’a in Transient) On 1801 Feb 26: A deed was renewed for the lands of my Forefather Hudson Johnson, which shows he bought lands on fifth day of September 1784 from Stockley Donelson the son of Col John Donelson who with my Kinsman General James Randolph Robertson will found the Watauga Settlement of what becomes the Sate of Tennessee. Abner Johnson ( Brother of Gideon Johnson) and his family likely came to Nashville in November 1788, with his sister Mary Ursula Pillow and her family. Abner is mentioned in Rockingham land records in 1786 and 1787, but no later; his son Abner Jr. told census takers he was born in TN in 1792; and Davidson Co. court records of the early 1790s refer to Abner Sr. In that era, little of the state was settled except for the eastern mountain counties and the Red River communities around Nashville, also known as Nashboro or French Lick.

Chicamoga Indians The Chickamauga Wars (1776–1794) were a series of back-and-forth raids, campaigns, ambushes, minor skirmishes, and several full-scale frontier battles which were a continuation of the Cherokee (Ani-Yunwiya, Ani-Kituwa, Tsalagi, Talligewi) struggle against encroachment into their territory by American frontiersmen from the former British colonies, and, until the end of the American Revolution, their contribution to the war effort as British allies. After 1786, they also fought along with and as members of the Western Confederacy. Open warfare broke out in the summer of 1776 between the Cherokee led by Dragging Canoe (a group first called the "Chickamauga" or "Chickamauga-Cherokee" by the colonials, and later the "Lower Cherokee") and frontier settlers along the Watauga, Holston, Nolichucky, and Doe Rivers in East Tennessee. It later spread to those along the Cumberland River in Middle Tennessee and in Kentucky, as well as the colonies (later states) of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The earliest phase of these conflicts, ending with the treaties of 1777, is sometimes called the "Second Cherokee War", a reference to the earlier Anglo-Cherokee War. Since Dragging Canoe was the dominant leader in both phases of the conflict, referring to the period as "Dragging Canoe's War" would be more accurate. Dragging Canoe and his warriors fought alongside and in conjunction with Indians from a number of other tribes both in the South and in the Northwest (most often Muscogee Creek in the former and Shawnee in the latter); enjoyed the support of, first, the British (often with participation of British agents and regular soldiers) and, second, the Spanish; and were founding members of the Native Americans' Western Confederacy. Though the Americans used "Chickamauga" as a label to define the Cherokee followers of Dragging Canoe, as distinct from Cherokee who abided by the peace treaties of 1777, there was never a separate tribe of "Chickamauga". The mixed-race man, Richard Fields, explained this to the Moravian missionary Brother Steiner, when the latter met with him at Tellico Blockhouse.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickamauga_wars Chickamauga (Tsǐkăma'gi, a word apparently of foreign origin and probably Shawnee, Creek, or Chickasaw). The name given to a band of Cherokee who espoused the English cause in the war of the Revolution and moved far down on Tennessee River, establishing new settlements on Chickamauga Creek, in the neighborhood of the present Chattanooga. Under this name they soon became noted for their uncompromising and never ceasing hostility. In 1782 their towns were destroyed by Sevier and Campbell, and they moved farther down the river, establishing what were afterward known as the "five lower towns," Running Water, Nickajack, Long Island, Crow Town, and Lookout Mountain Town. Here they were continually recruited by Creeks, Shawnee, and white Tories, until they were estimated to number a thousand warriors. They continued hostilities against the Tennessee settlements until 1794, when their towns were destroyed. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/tribes/cherokee/chickamaugahist.htm The Chickamauga or Lower Cherokee, were a band of Cherokee who supported Great Britain at the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. They were followers of Cherokee chief Dragging Canoe. In the winter of 1776/1777, he and they moved down the Tennessee River away from the historic Overhill Cherokee towns, establishing almost a dozen new isolated "towns". The frontiers people often referred to them as "Chickamaugas" after the name of the new town where Dragging Canoe resided. After they moved further west and southwest five years later, they were more commonly known as the "Lower Cherokee" after the "Five Lower Towns" originally making up the new settlement. However, they never at anytime considered themselves a separate people. Indeed, Richard Fields, a minor leader of the so-called "Chickamauga", was asked by a Moravian missionary Brother Steiner "What kind of people are the Chickamauga?"; in reply, Fields laughed and said "They are Cherokee, and we know no difference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickamauga_Indian Salt Licks in Davidson County, Davidson County is the oldest county in Middle Tennessee. It dates to 1783, when the North Carolina legislature created the county and named it in honor of William Lee Davidson, a North Carolina officer who died in the Revolutionary War on January 1, 1782. The county seat, Nashville, is also the oldest permanent white settlement in Middle Tennessee, founded by James Robertson and John Donelson during the winter of 1779-80. The initial white settlers established the Cumberland Compact in order to establish a basic rule of law and to protect their land titles. Through much of the early 1780s the settlers also faced a hostile response from Native American tribes. As the county's many known archaeological sites attest, the resources of Davidson County had attracted Native Americans for centuries. In fact, the first whites to encounter the area were fur traders, then long hunters, who came to a large salt lick, known as French Lick, in present-day Nashville to trade with Native Americans and to hunt the abundant game http://www.facebook.com/pages/Davidson-County-Tennessee/138166789541616

Chicamoga Indians Research Notes:The Chickamauga Wars (1776–1794) were a series of back-and-forth raids, campaigns, ambushes, minor skirmishes, and several full-scale frontier battles which were a continuation of the Cherokee (Ani-Yunwiya, Ani-Kituwa, Tsalagi, Talligewi) struggle against encroachment into their territory by American frontiersmen from the former British colonies, and, until the end of the American Revolution, their contribution to the war effort as British allies. After 1786, they also fought along with and as members of the Western Confederacy. Open warfare broke out in the summer of 1776 between the Cherokee led by Dragging Canoe (a group first called the "Chickamauga" or "Chickamauga-Cherokee" by the colonials, and later the "Lower Cherokee") and frontier settlers along the Watauga, Holston, Nolichucky, and Doe Rivers in East Tennessee. It later spread to those along the Cumberland River in Middle Tennessee and in Kentucky, as well as the colonies (later states) of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The earliest phase of these conflicts, ending with the treaties of 1777, is sometimes called the "Second Cherokee War", a reference to the earlier Anglo-Cherokee War. Since Dragging Canoe was the dominant leader in both phases of the conflict, referring to the period as "Dragging Canoe's War" would be more accurate. Dragging Canoe and his warriors fought alongside and in conjunction with Indians from a number of other tribes both in the South and in the Northwest (most often Muscogee Creek in the former and Shawnee in the latter); enjoyed the support of, first, the British (often with participation of British agents and regular soldiers) and, second, the Spanish; and were founding members of the Native Americans' Western Confederacy. Though the Americans used "Chickamauga" as a label to define the Cherokee followers of Dragging Canoe, as distinct from Cherokee who abided by the peace treaties of 1777, there was never a separate tribe of "Chickamauga". The mixed-race man, Richard Fields, explained this to the Moravian missionary Brother Steiner, when the latter met with him at Tellico Blockhouse.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickamauga_wars Chickamauga (Tsǐkăma'gi, a word apparently of foreign origin and probably Shawnee, Creek, or Chickasaw). The name given to a band of Cherokee who espoused the English cause in the war of the Revolution and moved far down on Tennessee River, establishing new settlements on Chickamauga Creek, in the neighborhood of the present Chattanooga. Under this name they soon became noted for their uncompromising and never ceasing hostility. In 1782 their towns were destroyed by Sevier and Campbell, and they moved farther down the river, establishing what were afterward known as the "five lower towns," Running Water, Nickajack, Long Island, Crow Town, and Lookout Mountain Town. Here they were continually recruited by Creeks, Shawnee, and white Tories, until they were estimated to number a thousand warriors. They continued hostilities against the Tennessee settlements until 1794, when their towns were destroyed. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/tribes/cherokee/chickamaugahist.htm Research Notes The Chickamauga or Lower Cherokee, were a band of Cherokee who supported Great Britain at the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. They were followers of Cherokee chief Dragging Canoe. In the winter of 1776/1777, he and they moved down the Tennessee River away from the historic Overhill Cherokee towns, establishing almost a dozen new isolated "towns". The frontiers people often referred to them as "Chickamaugas" after the name of the new town where Dragging Canoe resided. After they moved further west and southwest five years later, they were more commonly known as the "Lower Cherokee" after the "Five Lower Towns" originally making up the new settlement. However, they never at anytime considered themselves a separate people. Indeed, Richard Fields, a minor leader of the so-called "Chickamauga", was asked by a Moravian missionary Brother Steiner "What kind of people are the Chickamauga?"; in reply, Fields laughed and said "They are Cherokee, and we know no difference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chickamauga_Indian Salt Licks in Davidson County, Research Notes Davidson County is the oldest county in Middle Tennessee. It dates to 1783, when the North Carolina legislature created the county and named it in honor of William Lee Davidson, a North Carolina officer who died in the Revolutionary War on January 1, 1782. The county seat, Nashville, is also the oldest permanent white settlement in Middle Tennessee, founded by James Robertson and John Donelson during the winter of 1779-80. The initial white settlers established the Cumberland Compact in order to establish a basic rule of law and to protect their land titles. Through much of the early 1780s the settlers also faced a hostile response from Native American tribes. As the county's many known archaeological sites attest, the resources of Davidson County had attracted Native Americans for centuries. In fact, the first whites to encounter the area were fur traders, then long hunters, who came to a large salt lick, known as French Lick, in present-day Nashville to trade with Native Americans and to hunt the abundant game http://www.facebook.com/pages/Davidson-County-Tennessee/138166789541616 French Lick, Davidson County Research Notes Tennessee (Davidson County), Nashville — Founding of Nashville On Monday, April 24, 1780, two pioneers, James Robertson and John Donelson, shook hands upon the completion of a reunion at the site on which you now stand. Each man, one by land, the other by water, played out in a two-fold plan for a new settlement that grew into present-day Nashville. Robertson, at the head of his mounted band of 226 frontiersmen, traversed the long, circuitous overland route through Kentucky and Tennessee down to the Great Salt Lick.

Abner is mentioned in Rockingham land records in 1786 and 1787, but no later; his son Abner Jr. told census takers he was born in TN in 1792; and Davidson Co. court records of the early 1790s refer to Abner Sr. In that era, little of the state was settled except for the eastern mountain counties and the Red River communities around Nashville, also known as Nashboro or French Lick.

Ryland, "The Baptists of Virginia", pp. 2-5). Probably at the request of Matthew Marks, in 1714 the General Assembly of the General Baptists of England sent to Virginia the Rev. Robert Norden to become pastor of a Baptist congregation, and at the Prince George Co. Court June 14, 1715, Robert Norden, "An Anabaptist preacher", took the oath of allegiance, and Matthew Mark's home was authorized as a meeting house for the Baptists (O.B. 1714-20, p. 20). At the next court, July 12, 1715, "On the motion of Nicholas Robertson it's ordered that his house be recorded a publick meeting house for the sext of Anabaptists" (p.25). Matthew Marks had lived in Charles City Co., Va.

Edward Robinson was the son of Christopher Robinson of Bristol Parish, then in Henrico Co., Va., who first appears in the records in 1642 in a grant to John Ewens, Jr., in Charles City Co., (C. & P., p. 189), and on Feb. 23, 1652, was granted 600 acres of land in Henrico Co., Va. along with John Sturdevant (C. & P., p. 273). Christopher Robinson was dead by Aug. 31, 1663, when Francis Burrell gave bond for the administration of his estate (VM, 18, p. 196). On Oct. 19, 1677, Edward Robinson and Anne, his wife, he being son and heir of Christopher Robinson, decd., late of Bristol Parish, Henrico Co., deeded the land he enherited to Nicholas Dyson and Richard Kennon (Henrico Co. D. & W. Bk. #1, p. 25). http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Christopher Robinson of Bristol ParishEdward Robinson John Ewens, Jr., Francis Burrell Nicholas Dyson Richard Kennon Nicholas Roberson first appears in the Charles City Co. records in 1687-8, when he recorded his mark for cattle (Charles City Orders, 1687-95, p. 109), indicating that he was of age, so born about 1665-7. On April 21, 1698, he and Nicholas Darrell were granted jointly 289 acres of land (Patent Hook 8, p. 55). We have indicated that his first wife was a daughter of Matthew Marks. His second wife was Jane Tillman, daughter of Roger and Susannah Tillman of Prince George Co. The will of Susannah Tillman, aged 69 years, was dated Nov. 19, 1716, and probated in Prince George Co. Mar. 12, 1?16-17 (D. & W. 1713-28, p. 1d4). http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Nicholas DarrellJane TillmanRoger TillmanSusannah Tillman It mentions sons Thomas Parham, George Tillman, and John Tillman; daughters Jane Robinson and Christian Abernathy; granddaughter Mary Bethel; and grandson Robert Abernathy. Susannah Tillman's son, Thomas Parham, in his will dated Feb. 15, 1716-17 and probated May 14, 1717, mentions as lagatees: Nicholas Robyson (100 acres of land), John Tillman, William Pettypool, Sr., sons Thomas and William Parham, daughters Amy Jones, Elizabeth Tucker, Phoebe, Susannah, and Jane, and wife Elizabeth (D. & W. 1713-28, p. 168). http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Thomas ParhamChristian Abernathy;Amy JonesElizabeth Tucker, On May 12, 1718, Nicholas Robertson of Bristol Parish deeded the land left him by Thomas Parham to George Tillman, the land having originally been patented by Roger Tillman, father of George (same, p. 228), and Jane Robyson, wife of Nicholas, relinquished her dower in the land Nov. 14, 1721 (p. 501). The deed was witnessed by John Robyson and George Davenport (husband of Mary Marks). This is the last appearance of Nicholas Roberson in the records. http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Israel Roberson (Robertson, Robinson, Robyson), the father of Susannah Robertson Kendrick, was born in Prince George Co., Va., about 1698-1700, as his oldest son, Matthew, was born in 1720, and Israel himself was not too old to serve as an Ensign in the Granville Co., N.C. militia in the General Muster Oct. 8, 1?54 (N.C. Colonial and State Records, Vol. 22, p. 372-3). He served in the same company, Capt. Richard Coleman's, as James and John Kendrick, and the list of militiamen shows also Israel's sons, Matthew (Sergeant), Israel, Jr., and John Robinson. http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Prince George Co., Va. records indicate practically conclusively that Israel Roberson and his brothers, John and Edward Roberson, were sons of Nicholas Roberson, of Bristol Parish, Prince George Co., thus connecting them with two of the founders of the first Baptist Church established in Virginia http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt James Kendrick, son of William Kendrick and Sarah Jones was born about 1733-4, probably in Isle of Wight Co., Va. He was probably the eldest son of this couple, being the child brought into the Colony of North Carolina with them about 1735. He and his brother John were old enough to be in the Granville Co. militia Oct. 8, 1754, in the Great Muster for the French and Indian War (N.C. Col. and State Rec., Vol. 22, p. 373). This shows they were over 16 years of age, but as their sister Mary was born in 1738, they were obviously born a few years earlier, James about 1733-4 and John Kendrick about 1735-6. The tax-lists of Granville Co., N.C. shows James as a tithable in 1755 in William Kendrick's family, his brother Jahn having probably moved elsewhere at this time. James must have married during this same year, 1755, Susannah, daughter of Israel and Sarah Roberson of Granville Co., for John Kendrick, their eldest son, was appointed constable in his father's militia district in Chatham Co., N.C. at the November Court, 1777, showing that he was of age, and probably born in 1756, certainly not later than date.

He was born at Cleasby, about 1645, and came to Virginia about 1666, settling at an estate on the Rappahannock, in Middlesex county, which was later called "Hewick." He was a member of the House of Burgesses for Middlesex in 1691, was appointed to the Council in the same year, and Secretary of State in 1692. He married (1) Agatha, daughter of Bertram Obert (who seems to have been the mother of all of his children), and (2) Catharine, widow of Major Robert Beverley. Of his sons, John (1683-1749), was President of the Council, and acting Governor, and Christopher, of " Hewick" (1681-1727), was member of the House of Burgesses. A lengthy note (chiefly derived from the records of Middlesex), on Christopher Robinson and his children, wa! s published in this Magazine, in July, 1898. Those interested in agriculture will note the "ingine" for drying tobacco, which is mentioned.]In the Name of God Amen.
