Washington & Sullivan Co, Tennessee, USA |
| John's military record -- In the Fall of 1779, Isaac Shelby was commissioned as a Major under Lt. Col. John Sevier in the Washington County Regiment of Militia. Many within the North Carolina General Assembly already knew about Isaac Shelby and his keen military intellect. On 30 Oct 1779, the North Carolina General Assembly established Sullivan County out of Washington County. Soon thereafter they commissioned Isaac Shelby as the Colonel/Commandant over the newly-created Sullivan County Regiment of Militia. Col. Isaac Shelby retained this position until the end of the war (assumed, records incomplete). When the British seized Charlestown, South Carolina in May of 1780, Col. Isaac Shelby was called upon to bring his regiment to help out against the enemy in South Carolina. He led the Sullivan County Regiment of Militia against the British and Loyalists at the battles of Thicketty Fort, SC (26 Jul 1780), Wofford's Iron Works, SC (8 Aug 1780), Musgrove's Mill, SC (18 Aug 1780), Kings Mountain, SC (7 Oct 1780), Hudson's Ferry, SC (27 Jul 1781), Moncks Corner #4, SC (16 Oct 1781), and Fair Lawn Plantation, SC (27 Nov 1781). |

Passports into the Indian Lands to harvest crops
John Wallace, William Wallace, and Moses Justus/Justice had gone into the prohibited Indian lands and started farming before the lands were open for settlement. They "obtained passports 12 Apr 1798-for the purpose of removing their property from the Indian lands and taking care of their grain, that is now growing." NOTE: In 2015 when I was at the Tennessee State Archives I asked to see the original passports but was told by their staff that the only information they had was what Potter had written in her book. Now that I have the exact location of the records in the Papers of Governor John Sevier, I will try again to locate the originals. |

This treaty served as an addendum to the Treaty of Holston and was the only treaty between the United States and Native Americans executed during the administration of President John Adams. The treaty was signed by Thomas Butler and George Walton, commissioners of the United States, and some thirty-nine Cherokee chiefs and warriors, in the presence of Silas Dinsmoor, Agent of the United States among the Cherokee, and thirteen other witnesses including Charles R.
