Annals Of Haywood Co. North carolina
About the time of the settlements on Crabtree, some bold hunters from what is now Caldwell County pushed across the mountains and shot deer, bears, and turkeys and fought the Indians on Panther and Twelve Mile creeks. There also they established temporary homes and went back for their families. Among these men, the names of David Russell, Hughey Rogers, and John Ray appear. Russell secured large grants on Twelve Mile creek in 1796. Rogers also opened up large boundaries in the same locality about the same time. John Penland who had bought lands on the West Fork of Pigeon a few years before also obtained grants on Twelve Mile creek. John Ray, a year or two before the settlements in that section were planted, came from Wilkes County and occupied a large grant on Panther creek. These four men, at one time, owned most of the land now included in Fines Creek township. Twelve Mile creek is now known as Fines creek.
These men all fought in the Revaloution.
