Thank you. I will contact you offline. Most of my people were in Carter County before they came to Blount County. That has been my point all the time. People can't be in two places at same time. This area was considered the First Western Frontier, and lots of people received land here for their military service in Rev War. It seems people came from everywhere. Also, the TN River was the "road to Nashville"-Cumberland Settlements. While this was Indian Land , a lot of people migrated to KY via the TN River, because it was supposed to be safer than the Cumberland Gap Route.
