THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
CAPTAIN WILLIAM EBLEN MCELWEE
William Eblen McElwee, son of William and Lucinda
(Eblen) McElwee and grandson of James McElwee of North
Carolina and Nancy (Johnson) McElwee of Virginia was
born in Roane County April 16, 1835.
His grandfather was at the battle of King's Mountain
with the Watauga men and was present when the Declaration
of Independence was signed at Mecklenburg, N. C., in April
1775.
William Eblen McElwee attended the schools of Roane
County, read law and was licensed to practice in 1859. In
1861 he enlisted in the Confederate Army and served thru the
four years. He served as provost Marshall at Bowling Green,
Ky., was commissioned a Captain, was at the surrender at Fort
Donelson, was in prison at Johnson's Island, but after his re-
lease rejoined the army and took part in the battles at Chicka-
mauga, Missionary Ridge and Atlanta and was with the head-
quarters company of General Stevenson's until the surrender.
At the close of the War he returned to Roane County and
was one of the organizers of the Roane Iron Co. He was one
of the surveyors of the Queen and Crescent and the Tennessee
Central Railroads. At the age of 92 he assisted in locating the
Memphis and Bristol Highways through Roane County.
Captain McElwee was married on December 12, 1867
to Martha Brown, daughter of William Franklin and Amanda
(Renfroe) Brown of Roane County. Franklin Brown Mc-
Elwee born on September 2nd, 1878 is their son. Mrs. Mc-
Elwee died in 1872.
PREFACE
This book has been compiled not to exploit the deeds
and virtues of a few but to print important records of pioneers
of Roane County, Tennessee.
The records show that many of the men who came into
the county before the county was organized were Revolution-
ary soldiers and that their wives in many cases were daughters
of soldiers of that War. Many were given land grants for
service rendered their country. Some brought their slaves from
as far east as Massachusetts. Their wills show that besides
land, slaves and stock, they possessed furniture of the best
make. Many pieces now in possession of their descendants are
of beautiful design. They were mostly people of education
as their letters and signatures testify. There have gone out
from the county men who have become leaders in the profess-
ional and commercial world, Governors of States, Judges of
the Supreme Court, Generals in the Army, Presidents of Col-
leges and leaders in many other walks of life.
The original spelling has been followed in copying the
records.

KINGSTON AND THE COUNTY
A Fort at South West Point was established in 1792 and
Gen. John Sevier was stationed there in November by William
Blount, Governor of the Territory of the United States South
of the Ohio. Gen. John Sevier gave the station its name,
South West Point. United States Troops were quartered there
until 1807 to prevent incursions from Cherokee Indians into
the settlement, when the garrison was moved to a point on the
right bank of the Tennessee River, near Washington, Tenn.
October 23, 1799, the Tennessee Legislature passed an act
for the establishment of a town, to be known as Kingston, on
lands owned by Major Robert King. David Miller, Alexandet
Carmichael, George Preston, John Smith T., William Lovely,
Meriwether Smith and Thomas N. Clark, were appointed com-
missioners. The act of the Legislature establishing Roane
County was passed November 1, 1801. The county at that
time extended from Anderson and Knox Counties to the
southern boundary of the State, but did not include any terri-
tory south of the Holston and Tennessee Rivers.
For Military and Civil purposes the County was divided
into six companies commanded by: Thomas Coulter, Richard
Oliver, Gray Sims, George Ingram, John Walker, and Hugh
Francis.
It is believed that all of these men served in the Revolu-
tion. Service of most of them is proved.
In 1802 the population of the county included 275
whites and 137 blacks. Only eight of the whites were unable
to write.
Hugh Beatty and John Stone operated Cotton Gins.
Mathew Nelson opened a Tavern in 1808. Henry Liggett was
a hatter and lived where the Dixie Hotel is now.
Sam Houston, afterwards Governor of Tennessee and
Texas, was a clerk in a store in Kingston when he enlisted in
the Creek War.
The Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions was organized
December 20, 1801, at the home of Hugh Beatty and the fol-
lowing qualified as magistrates: William White, Samuel Miller,
Hugh Nelson, Paul Harelson, Zacheus Ayers, George Preston,
9
THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
William Campbell, James Preston, Isham Cox, William Bar-
nett, George McPherson, and Abraham McClelland.
Zacheus Ayers was appointed Entry Taker; Jacob Jones,
Surveyor: George McPherson, Ranger, the constables were:
Francis Lea, Robert Kirkpatrick, and Patrick Burrus; Thomas
Brown was collector of the District Tax.
The Circuit Court was organized on the first Monday in
March 1811, by James Trimble, Judge of the Second Judicial
Court.
The first Grand Jury was composed of John Givens,
James Todd, Jesse White, William Waller, Samuel Hays,
Thomas Rayburn, Jacob Warren, Jacob (or James) Robin-
son, Nicholas Nail, John McKinney, Thomas Ogden, Asa
Cobb, John Rector, Henry McPherson and George Cross.
Chancery Court was organized at Kingston, October 21,
1824, for the District including the counties of Knox, Ander-
son, Morgan, Rhea, Roane, Hamilton, Campbell, McMinn,
Monroe, and Blount, by John Catron, Judge of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee.
The Legislature appointed Hugh Nelson, John Smith T,
Alexander Carmichael, William Barnett, Paul Harelson, and
Zacheus Ayers, commissioners to erect the Court House which
was finished in 1803. The present Court House was built in
1853.
The General Assembly of Tennessee was held in Kings-
ton, September 21, 1807 and adjourned to meet in Knoxville
September 23, 1807.
The
In a treaty made with the Indians they had reserved a
mile square in the fork of the rivers. Kingston had been laid
out and houses were being erected around the reservation and
there were hopes that the capitol of the state would be erect-
ed here. The whites wanted the mile square reservation.
Indians agreed to the sale, but had the cause thereof stated in
the deed. The commissioners said they had no right to con-
tract that the capitol should be built here, but assured the
Indian Chief, Tullentuskie, that the legislature should be con-
vened there. It was for this reason that the legislature met
here, but adjourned next day to Knoxville, alleging it was
for want of a suitable hall and room. This was not the truth,
as a matter of course, because the courthouse was finished the
year before. The truth is, it was merely a trick played upon
the Indians in order to negotiate the purchase of the reser-
vation.

THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
Kingston was an important point as early as 1800, with
a Military Post at South West Point within a mile of the town
and the stage route from Nashville to Washington passing
through. It was the stopping place for Andrew Jackson, John
Sevier and other men of importance. Bishop Asbury tells of
stopping in 1801 at the home of Thomas N. Clark "which was
a comfortable home with open fires in the upstairs bed rooms."
General Sevier always stopped at the home of Thomas N.
Clark which stood near the big spring. His house was part of
the block house built by General Sevier in 1792.
""
There were two taverns in the town, Alexander's occupi-.
ed the site of the present Exchange Hotel and stood back from
the street in the brick ell. Dr. John W. Wester remodeled the
building in 1850 making it as it stands today. It was here that
General Andrew Jackson always stopped. The other tavern
stood a block and a half up the street from the Alexander
Tavern and was the place of meeting of the Legislature in
September 1807.
The County today has a fine system of highways, with
flourishing towns supplied with good churches, schools, banks,
newspapers, manufacturing plants, large iron and coke indus-
tries- and is one of the largest peach and strawberry centers in
the State. Roane County has one of the best public health
units in the State.
In the Spring of 1797 Prince Louis Philippe, later King
of France, and his brothers Comte de Montpensier and Comte
de Beaujolair, on their journey from Knoxville, where they had
been entertained by Gov. John Sevier, to Nashville, stopped at
South West Point (Kingston) and visited the site of a pro-
posed Fort and the remains of prehistoric brestworks. Tra-
dition says that some of the Indian Chiefs, among them
Tulantuski who lived where Rockwood now stands, joined the
party of distinguished visitors and the company drank at the
Big Spring. The Princes were entertained at the home of
Judge David Campbell. Thomas Norris Clark gave and deed-
ed to Kingston this Big Spring early in 1880. It furnishes
many gallons of good water each day.
The County was named for Archibald Roane, who was
born in Pennsylvania 1759, coming to Tennessee in 1778.
He was admitted to the Tennessee Bar at Jonesboro and Greene-
ville 1788 and the same year was appointed Attorney General
of the district of Hamilton. He was a member of the Consti-
tutional convention 1796, and was elected one of the Superior
Judges when the State was organized. He was elected the
1

THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
second Governor of Tennessee without opposition in 1801.
During his administration the state was divided into three con-
gressional districts, Washington, Hamilton and Mero. Knox-
ville was the Capitol of the State. He was reappointed a
Superior Judge in 1815 which office he held until his death
in 1819. He never lived in Roane County but was Governor
when the County was erected.
BATTLE AT CRAB ORCHARD
The Soldiers stationed at the Garrison at South West Point
were a great protection to the early settlers against the invasion
of the Indians. On August 13, 1792 Lieut. McClellan, with
thirty seven of Captain Evan's Company was attacked on tht
Cumberland road near Crab Orchard by about one hundred
Indians. After twice repelling the warriors he was compelled
to retreat with a loss of four men killed, Paul Cunningham,
Daniel Hitchcock, William Flemming and Stephen Renfro.
Abraham Byrd who was wounded and four others who were
missing arrived at South West Point afterwards. William
Lea, one of the number missing had been captured by the
Indians, but escaped and reached the garrison on the 18th.
EARLY NEWSPAPERS
The first Newspaper published in Roane County was the
Kingston Gazette and Register by N. A. Patterson in 1855.
Charles F. Brause established the "Daily News" in 1877
but after a few months' publication sold it to the Rev. G. W.
Coleman who changed it to "The "Independent" and moved it
to Maryville. In 1880 John J. Littleton began to publish a
democratic newspaper "The Cyclone" which afterwards was
bought by Hood Haggard, the name changed to "The
Patriot" and politics to republican. Col. D. M. Coffman
started "The Roane County Republican" in 1880.

They manufactured charcoal, pig iron, cooking utensils and
other cast iron products which were shipped by boat to Chatta-
nooga and Knoxville.
In 1867 the Roane Iron Co., was organized by Gen. J.
T. Wilder, Capt. H. S. Chamberlain and Major W. A. Rock-
wood for whom the town was named. The company built
two churches near the furnace, one for the whites, and the other
for blacks. Coal was first discovered in 1840 by William
Green an employe of Gen. John Brown. Green and William
Brown soon entered the land and began mining the coal for
local use. From the time the furnaces were started they did not
stop day or night for fifty years.

PART TWO
SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTION
Roane County can boast as many if not more Revolution-
ary soldiers than any county in the whole United States. While
these brave men were not residents of Roane County during
the Revolutionary War-for the simple reason that there was
then no Roane County-they came to her soil in the years
that immediately succeeded the War and remained to fight
her battles with the Red Man and eventually to sleep beneath
her beloved hills and valleys.
The records of some of these soldiers, although known to
have served, can not now be established, many died before
pensions were issued and many did not apply for or receive
pensions. Some are mentioned in Ramsey's Annals where the
fact that they were officers or performed some conspicuous
service brought their names before the historian, but many
died as they had served unsung.
This chapter includes the names of all whose Service
in the Revolution is known, with reference for service.

WAR BETWEEN THE STATES
The men of Roane County were always ready to volun-
teer to defend any cause that they felt was just, so when war
was declared in 1861 many of Roane County's sons volunteered
either for service in the Federal or Confederate Army. Many
families were split, brothers and cousins fighting against each
other. When the election was held on May 6, 1861 for the
people of the state to decide upon the question of secession, and
the question of representation in the Confederate Congress and
the adoption of the provisional Constitution of the Confed-
34
THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
erate Government the result in Roane County was as follows:
Separation 454, Representation 436, No Separation 1568,
No Representation 1580.
The first Union Regiment of Tennessee was organized by
Robert King Byrd, of Roane County, at Camp Dick Robinson,
August 1861. He was made a Colonel with James T. Shelley,
of Roane Co., as Major.
In March 1862 Major Shelley organized the 5th U. S.
Reg., Tenn., Inf., and was its Colonel. This Regiment was
composed of soldiers from several Tennessee Counties and was
in the battles of Stone River, Missionary Ridge, Nashville and
other places.
The 1st. U. S. Regt., with Col. R. K. Byrd in command
was under fire at Wild Cat, at Mill Spring, in the capture of
Cumberland Gap, where it remained until the evacuation of the
Post by General Morgan, who retreated to Ohio. Went on the
expedition to Kanawah Valley, was at the Battle of Stone
River. Entered East Tennessee under Gen. Burnside's Com-
mand and was at the seige of Knoxville. During the winter of
1864 was stationed at Kingston, and in the spring of 1865
entered the Atlanta Campaign, until just previous to the sur-
render of the City the greater portion of the regiment was dis-
charged on account of the expiration of their term of service.
While at Cumberland Gap a detachment of this and the 2nd.
Reg. consisting of 69 men captured an important out post of
the Confederates without a single loss. For this exploit a
complimentary notice was read on dress parade by order of
General Morgan.

service in East Tennessee, the Regiment was reorganized May
1862 and sent to Humphrey Marshall's Brigade in Virginia,
but soon after joined Bragg's Kentucky Brigade. In December
was transferred to Vicksburg to hard service. In May 1863
moved to Fort Gibson to oppose Grant's advance and fought
at Champion Hill, then retreated to Vicksburg and surrendered
early in July. The Regiment was exchanged and ordered to
reenforce Longstreet at Knoxville. Seven months was spent in
East Tennessee on out post duty. The 43rd. fought around
Washington, Winchester, Cedar Creek, Fisherville, White Post
and other places in Virginia, returning to East Tennessee in the
fall of 1864, fighting at Morristown and Russellville. Learn-
ing of General Lee's surrender it moved south to join John-
son, but at Charlotte, N. C., met President Davis and served

as his escort until his capture. Was paroled May 1865.
The 36th Tenn. Reg. (Confederate) was organized
July 30, 1862 with R. G. Fain as Colonel and was composed
of men from Roane and other Tenn. Counties. The Regi-
ment operated in East Tennessee under Lieutenant Colonel W.
H. Wilkerson, and was in the battles at Chickamauga, Fort
Sanders, Bean's Station, Dewy Bluff, Wathall's Junction and
Petersburg in Virginia. Part were captured Apr. 5, 1865 and
the remainder surrendered at Appomattox.
The 26th Tenn. Reg. (Confederate) was composed of
men from Roane and other adjacent counties. It was organiz-
ed Sept. 6, 1861 at Knoxville with John M. Lillard as Colonel.
It was captured at Ft. Donaldson and taken to Northern
prisons, exchanged and was at Vicksburg Sept. 1862 Col.
Lillard was mortally wounded at Chickamauga and was
succeeded by R. M. Saffell. It fought at the Battle of Mission-
ary Ridge, spent winter of 1863-64 in North Georgia. Was
in the battles of Atlanta, Jonesboro, Lovejoy, Nashville and
Franklin. Col. Shaffell was killed at Bentonville, N. C., and
was succeeded by Col. A. F. Boggess who also fell in a fight
after Gen. Lee's surrender and before the troops at that point
heard of it. The Regiment surrendered in April 1865.
WORLD WAR RECORD
Five months before the United States entered the World
War, some of the women of Harriman organized a Red Cross
Chapter and began sending supplies to the allies. At the first
call for Volunteers the young men of Roane County, respond-
ed and organized the first Volunteer Company in the United
States to offer its services to the War Department. The women
of Rockwood organized a Red Cross Chapter at the same time.
The records show that throughout the months that our Coun-
try was in the War that Roane County did not lag and equalled
any in every phase of patriotic work.
The first Volunteer Company from Roane County was
organized in June 1917. Left Rockwood for Camp Sevier,
South Carolina, on September 10, 1917. Trained at Camp
Sevier for eight months. Sailed from New York for France in
May 1918. In France 11 months. Took part in five engage-
ments. Three members of this Company, Curtis E. Smith,
Fred C. Gouth and Joe Evans were killed in action. This
Company was in the 119th Infantry, 30th Division.

PART THREE
POST OAK SPRINGS
Though now a settlement of only four or five houses and
one church it was at one time a very important village. It was
on the public highway that was constructed in 1800 between
South West Point (Kingston) and "Beans Lick" (near Nash-
ville,) crossing Walden's Ridge over the present tunnel of the
Tennessee Central Railroad. It was called Walton's road for
Capt. William Walton who constructed it by the authority of
an act passed by the Legislature in 1799. Another road leav-
ing the Walton road at Post Oak Springs went in the direction
of Ross' Landing. Captain McElwee, in writing of Post Oak
and its people, has given some very interesting things of the
locality. George Gordon got a charter from the State to con-
struct a road from Post Oak Springs to White's Creek, crossing
the mountain by way of Sparta and on to Nashville. The two
roads were rivals for public travelers. Agents were engaged all
along the road from Knoxville to Kingston to advertise each of
these two routes. Each agent would furnish the traveler with
a ticket; this ticket would be taken up by the first toll gate
keeper and the agent paid a percent on the ticket. But the test
of rivalry was at Post Oak Springs. Immense sign boards were
erected for each road. The board on the Gordon road read:
"Gordon's Turnpike, Nearest and best road across Cumberland
Wilderness. Fire and provender at each stop. Ordinaries and
taverns every ten miles.'
Joshua Moore was agent and drummer for the stage road.
One night he tied a brush to a long pole and blackened out the
sign board of the Gordon road. Gordon did not have it re-
lettered but put up another board below with this:
"The above blackboard to be kept for erection over the
grave of Joshua Moore upon which the devil will write his
doom, Amen."
This board attracted much attention and turned a large
amount of travel to Gordon's road.
41
THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
Gordon died and Moore moved away but the old sign
post still stood during the 60's as a silent reminder of "things
that."
Some of the early citizens of Post Oak Springs were:
Thomas Hindman, Joseph Rentfroe, Thomas Brown, Eld-
bridge G. Sevier, John S.. McMeans, Major John Smith,
Mathew Allison, Edward Owings, Samuel Kendrick, Capt.
Thomas McMullen, Capt. Samuel Walker.
The Post Oak Springs Christian Church was organized in
1812 by Major John Smith and the earliest members were the
Smith, Owings (Owens) and Acuff families.
The Post Springs Academy stood across the road from the
Christian Church near the home of Mathew Allison (now
Staple's home). One end of the building was used for the boys
and the other for the girls. Some of the teachers were Dr.
Campbell Cawood, Martin Matlock, Dr. B. F. Davis, Rev.
Nelson Roberts, R. P. Bayley, Col. John R. Neal, W. W. Mil-
lican, Miss Nannie Depew, of Amsterdam, N. Y., Maston
Green, of North Carolina.
The War Between the States terminated school teaching in
the Academy. It and the woodland to the south of it was
occupied by Soldiers during war times. The building was used
by the Federal Army as a Courier post, where the bearers of war
dispaches changed. A fight occured here between the Federal
and Confederate in a successful attempt of the Confederates to
capture dispatches. Four couriers were killed and others cap-
tured. Within a year after this fight the Academy was burned
and Post Oak Springs ceased to be the educational center of a
large territory.
On the South of the same tract of land on which the
Academy was located, stood the Methodist Church, and West
of it the graveyard where lie the remains of several Revolution-

THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
ASBURY CAMP GROUNDS
Located at Privett Springs, three miles south of Post Oak
Springs and two and one-half miles east of the present Rock-
wood, this old time, ante-bellum popular religious camp
meeting ground of the Methodists was named for a pioneer
Bishop of the Church, Bishop Asbury.
This camp consisted of an assembly place under roof with
seats without backs, and the floor covered with straw, that was
renewed daily. There was a pulpit stand and a preachers' room
on one side, and boxes in which were installed tallow dip
candles for night services. Meetings and preachings and ex-
horations continued throughout the day and into the night.
Great sermons were delivered.
The great preachers of the denomination from through-
out the Holston Conference and beyond its limits, as all local
preachers were in attendance and very active and enthusiastic,
as were all the leading singers of the whole scction and for
great distances beyond.
The assembly shed was surrounded by the Camps of all
the leading families of the churches of the whole district. Many
brought their colored slave cooks and wai.ers and an immense
supply of good things to eat of every character, which the
region supplied in profusion. These negro slave servants at-
tended the services, occupying the assigned section of the as-
sembly shed. Many of them were members in good standing
of the Methodist Church, as was usual during s.avery times.
Some of the leading families camping here were the
Browns, Pyotts, Tedders McElwees, Elbens, Wintons, Mont-
gomerys, Whites, Haleys, Lincolns, Kimbroughs, Tommasons,
Martins, Centers and many others.
Asbury Camp Ground and its great meetings came to an
end when the black cloud of war burst upon the country. The
great meeting became a memory only, and the buildings and
appurtenances went to decay.

GRAND LODGE SEAL
The John Brown, who was the first Master of the Lodge
was Sheriff of Roane County for 23 years and Gideon Morgan,
the Senior Warden was one of the first merchants in the town
of Kingston. In a short history of the Lodge it would be im-
possible to mention the names of all the notable men who have
been members of the Lodge and held positions of honor in it
and have gone into the world and made their mark in other
fields.
The time of stated meetings of the Lodge when it was or-
ganized was on Friday preceeding the full Moon. In 1839 it
was changed to the first Monday, and is so fixed at this time.
The early meetings were held in the old brick Court house, until
Oct. 1854, when they occupied what was known as the Long
room in the present Court house, though the building was not
accepted by the County until 1856. This room was the one
formerly used as the Circuit Court Clerks office on the second
THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
floor, on the North side of the present Court room, the parti-
tion not being removed to form the present Court room until
1896.
In 1871 Bro. R. K. Byrd, and wife Mary L. Byrd gave
the Lodge 3-4 of an acre, part of lots 1-2-15 and 16 as shown
by the map of Kingston on the hill near where the M. E.
Church now stands. A building was erected at a cost of
$1,700.00 which the Lodge occupied until 1910 when it was
destroyed by fire. Following the fire, the Lodge met for several
months in the K. of P. hall, then removed to the third floor of
the Court house, until 1908, when our present quarters were
secured.
The Lodge had a membership of 30 in the year 1823 and
up to 1839 had raised 43 members, yet in that year, its mem-
bership numbered 26. The largest membership in its first period
of 18 years, was 39 in 1833, and the lowest was 18 members
in 1835. From 1838 to 1847 its meetings were irregular, but
from Sept. 7th. 1847 it continued to meet regularly until the
War Between the States. Then from March 1861 until June
1866 no meetings were regularly held, and during this time
part of its books and records were lost.
The earliest record of Minutes we now have is dated July
2nd., 1853, on that date following officers were officiating in
the Lodge:
W. M. Henry Liggett
S. W. Henry Liggett, Jr.
J. W. E. A. Yost
Treas. James T. Asbury
Sec'y John C. Gillespie
S. D. Geo. W. Yost
J. D. Thos. C. Center
Tyler R. L. Cardwell
Then came for the periods set out the following who have
been Master of the Lodge:
1867 J. W. McNutt
1871 James Sevier
1880 E. E. Young
1890 Geo. W. Henderson
1900 J. G. Crumbliss
1910 J. S. Parker
1921 W. T. Ferguson
THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
1920 was the most active year, and there were conferred 80
degrees and had 7 admissions, with a gain in membership of 30.
Since 1853 the roster shows 453 members, of whom 75 died
while members of this Lodge. This has been the parent Lodge,
of Stocton Valley Lodge, Rockwood Lodge, East Fork Lodge,
Omega Lodge, South Gate Lodge, and Emerald Lodge, a part
of the members of this Lodge becoming Charter members of
each of them.
Union Lodge assisted in the erection of the Widows and
Orphans home at Nashville, and contributed its part toward the
building of the Washington Monument.
One of its members was honored in the Grand Lodge in
the person
of Henry Liggett, who served them as Jr. Grand
Warden, as Sr. Grand Warden, and as deputy Grand Master.
In the years gone by a large number of strong men of the
county have been the outstanding citizens of the county and at
the same time devoted members of his Lodge and I cannot re-
frain from mentioning a few of the ones that have been in the
writer's day; James Sevier, H. Crumbliss, Geo. L. Burke, who
is still living, Col. J. M. Melton, Capt. W. H. Dietz, Will
Shelley, W. L. Welcker, E. E. Young, and R. W. Gambill.
This Lodge has lived over a Century and its members
have diffused Light. They have furnished the material that
bas established 6 other Lodges. They have extended their hands
in public and private charity, upheld the everlasting truth of
the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man, and have
done other good acts which will never be known.
The writer is indebted to J. S. Parker, of Kingston, for a
large part of the data upon which this short history of the
Lodge is based. Bro. Parker has been a faithful member of
Union Lodge for a long number of years from one station to
another in Masonry he has advanced step by step until he
has reached the highest degree in the institution and last year
was called to the Ciy of Washingon where he had confered up-
on him the 33rd degree. He is the only Mason in this county,
or in all this section of East Tennessee who has thus been
honored.
THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
POST OAK SPRINGS CHRISTIAN CHURCH
The Church at Post Oak Springs is thought to be the
oldest Christian Church in Tennessee, and the interesting facts
of its early history deserve to be perpetuated in the records
of Roane County, for the benefit of the present gene:at on,
and the future descendants of the pioneers of early days.
Among the early settlers who came into the lands and
bought of the Cherokee Indians on the West side of the Tenn-
essee River after the treaty of the Tellico in 1805, there was a
group from Hawkins County and among these Isaac Rice
appears to have been the leader. Isaac Rice, William Matlock
and Joseph Mee, with their families settled on "The waters of
King's Creek.” Isaac Rice built a log cabin on a small hill
above the spring that now supplies water to Rockwood. Wil-
liam Matlock, a brother-in-law of Rice, and Joseph Mee, built
cabins near by, and these three built a log cabin church house
and organized a church membership about 1812.
It appears that Rice had learned new ideas and teachings of
the gospel back in his home in Hawkins County or other
sources, his instructors most likely being representatives of the
movement that had organized from the preaching of Barton W.
Stone. The enthusiasm and energy of Mr. Rice in preaching his
views brought a good number of converts, but it also aroused
the opposition of others.
In a few years the Church house was burned and the
preacher Isaac Rice moved to McMinn County, to a place now
called Riceville, and this left the membership to drift for some
time. Major John Smith bought land near Post Oak Springs,
and though he was not a preacher he became the leader of the
work and would call the members together under some large
oak trees, and have singing and prayer. The church was called
"Schismatics," by other religious bodies in the country, thus
indicating the attitude toward the people with the new ideas.
The first Church building at Post Oak stood near the present
structure.
It is not known just when the Church at Post Oak became
acquainted with the teachings of the Campbells who were
later than Stone, but as early as 1838 it is stated in the Mil-
lenial Harbinger that W. T. Owings had sent the money for
the preaching of the gospel. The little flock was visited by
Evangelists and traveling ministers at irregular and long dis-
tance occasions.
45
THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
In 1845 David M. Buck and Samuel H. Millard who
were engaged as Evangelists by the East Tennessee and South
West Virginia Co-operation traveled on horseback as far west
as Post Oak Springs, preaching in Knox and Anderson coun-
ties, also others who preached for them in early days were
Messers. Troutt, Eichbaum. Vermillion, Randolph, J. D. Bil-
lingsly Sr., Isaac Mulkey, J. H. Denton and others.
During the War Between the States the services of this
church like many others were suspended and its members fought
on both sides of the unpleasant fratricidal war. After the war
was over it was with some difficulty that the members could be
reorganized into a Christian fellowship. But under the minis-
try of John H. Acuff who had sons on both sides in the war,
a communion service was held to which all persons, of what-
ever denomination, creed or belief, if they felt thems⚫lves
worthy were invited to take the emblems of remembrance of the
Savior who had suffered for all alike. Hatred and strife and
the wounds of the War were healed and the Church began again
to live and preach Christian Unity.
An event in the history of that early day that has its
lessons for later time is that of the church unde-taking to re-
produce the communism of the Apostolic Church. This was
undertaken by W. J. Owings who had earnest convictions that
the experience of the early Church described in Ac's 2:44,
should be literally reproduced in the life of the Church of to-
day, and that all should live as one family or community,
sharing all alike in the common good of the community. After
two or three years trial the experiment was abandoned as a
mistaken conception of Christian fellowship and co-operation.
The Post Oak Church is called the Mother Church, and
the growth from that small beginning has been remarkable.
A little acorn planted by Isaac Rice has grown into a great oak
with many branches.
BETHEL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Seventeen years after Roane County was organized the
first Church was started. History does not tell how or where
worship was conducted, but it is probable that the Presbyterian
families held services at their homes, until Rittenhouse Academy
was built.
On June 6, 1818, six men and twenty women organized
Bethel Church. The original records are still in existence.
The Rev. Isaac Anderson was present and ordained. John
Purris, Ruling Elder. John Walker, Samuel Walker, Abraham

from the organization of Bethel Church until his death Sept.
1829, and was succeeded by Dr. Lewis Jordon, who was
followed by John Moore as Clerk in 1820. Dr. Jordon's
name is signed as Clerk in 1835 and on thru 1839, when John
P. Patton was elected to the office and his name appears as
clerk until Feb. 15, 1861, when the minutes close until April
1870 when the name of A. Phillips appears.
On October 16, 1870 James B. Martin and Constantine
Brouse were ordained Elders by Rev. Thomas Brown and Rev.
Thomas Roberts.
Nov. 12, 1870 Rev. E. W. Wyatt was ordained as pastor
and continued his services with the Church until April 1872.
April 5, 1871 Mrs. Elizabeth Houston was given a letter
of dismissal to the Church at Rockwood.
During the year the Church was most disturbed over the
intemperance of one of its members. He had been brought be-
fore the session early in the year for drinking, he admitted his
guilt but asked forgiveness and was forgiven. The second
offence takes up most of the minutes of the year as his trial is
written out in full. He was penitent but was excluded from
the Church. The following sentence was published by the
pastor from the pulpit. "With the earnest prayer that God in
the abundance of his Grace and for the sake of our blessed
Mediator and Advocate, the Lord Jesus Christ will lead our
offending brother to repentance for all his sins, so for this, also
his sin of continuance in refusing to hear the Church." W. S.
Patton, Clerk.
March 27, 1872 is the next date of the meeting of the
Session. Those present being Elders J. B. Martin, C. Brouse,
W. S. Patton, with Rev. E. W. P. Wyatt, Moderator. J. P.
Patton was absent on April 5. Alex Bartlett was Moderator

and on April 13, William H. Deitz resigned as Treasurer and
Rev. Wyatt resigned. It was decided at this meeting to hold
two communion services a year. On April 17 at a congrega-
tional meeting Gustavus A. Gunter was elected a Trustee in
place of Mr. Deitz and it was decided to fill the place of Rev.
Wyatt as soon as possible. The minutes close with those of
May 5, 1872 as follows "Communion Season. Rev. Wyatt
submitted the following testimonials to the worth and services
of our former minister, the late Thomas Brown. "As early as
1827 he entered upon his ministerial labors and only by the
interruption of the late War and finally thru feeble health in
1867, did he cease to preach to us the unsearchable riches of
Christ."
Rev. William Eagleton was probably the first regular
pastor of the Church coming in 1819 and was President
of Rittenhouse Academy. On account of failing health he resign-
ed in 1826 or 27. He was succeeded by Thomas Brown who
came a young man and stayed for forty years. He married Jane
Patton. Rev. Wyatt was his successor in 1867 and remained
until 1872. Thru the century of the Church's existence several
of the male members were dismissed or reproved but the records
show only one female who did not walk the straight and nar-
row path. In 1830 she was dismissed from the Church. for
being quarrelsome with her neighbors, and would not promise
the Session that she would quit the bad habit. The first money
shown on the Treasurer's book is "amount of collection after
deductiig expenses $11. 3934." Very little money was paid the
early pastors most of it going for communion wine and
material for church building. How interesting it would be to
know more of the story of Bethel Church.

trustees of Rittenhouse Academy for the right to send his
children to the School. It adjoins the spot where the first
Academy stood on a hill overlooking the town. The remains

THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
RITTENHOUSE ACADEMY AT KINGSTON
The records of the academy show the first trustees to be
Thomas J. Van Dyke, Samuel Eskridge, Jacob Jones, Zachariah
Ayers and Jesse Byrd. These were appointed by an act of
the legislature in 1806. The names of John Purris, M. Smith,
Thomas N. Clark, Thomas Brown, John Brown, Mathew
Nelson and Samuel Martin were added to the board in 1809.
Like a good many valuable records the story of the
academy for several years was lost, but the minutes of the board
meeting of Feb. 1819 show that the trustees present were John
Brown, Thomas Brown, Thomas N. Clark, Robert Gilliland,
Henry Liggitt, Noah Ashley and Samuel Ewing.
Rules governing the academy, many setting forth duties
required of the students, were adopted, that would seem amus-
ing if used today. Each pupil was required to contribute one
dollar annually for fire-wood. Those in the English class
paid $3.75 for a session of three months, those in the higher
classes were charged $5.00.
All students were required to attend public worship on the
"Lord's Day." Any student tardy or absent without an ex-
cuse from the parent was required to "perform a portion of the
menial offices of the academy." Public examinations were held
at the end of each session for the "animation of the students in
literary pursuits." Students were "not allowed to fight, use
profane language, speak obscenely, get drunk, gamble, frequent
taverns or associate with base, abandoned characters." Nor were
they allowed to smoke paper or tobacco within the walls of the
academy or wear their hats while school was in session.
At a meeting of the board Oct. 29, 1822, those present
were Thomas N. Clark, Solomon Geren, Gen. John Brown,
Thomas Brown, Samuel Martin, Merriweather Smith, Jesse
Byrd, Henry Liggett, Noah Ashley, Robert Gilliland and
Hugh Dunlap.
William Egleton was made president and the price of
tuition was put at $6 per session. One of the duties of the
president was to advertise the school for six weeks in the Knox-
ville papers.
At the November meeting of 1823 William S. McEwen
was added to the board and in 1824 James McPherson and
Lewis Jordon were elected. The health of the Rev. William
Egleton had failed and Allen G. Gallaher was elected president
of the academy in his stead.
57
THE HISTORY OF ROANE COUNTY
During the year the trustees met several times, but little
business was recorded in the minutes except that the secretary,
Robert Gilliland, was instructed to call on the East Tennessee
bank for funds due the academy from that state school fund.
William B. Clark was added to the board, which again ordered
the president to advertise in the Knoxville paper.
In December, 1825, Mr. John Hook was elected president.
The records show that the trustees met often in the next
two years with the names of those present, but little of interest
transpired except that William Clark and William McEwen
were appointed to visit the school once a month and see if the
by-laws were carried out. Jacob Spooner was elected president in
1827 and the following report was sent to the house of repre-
sentatives:
Nov. 15, 1827. "Trustees met and the following report
was sent to the house of representatives:
"In obedience to a resolution of Sept. 27, we, a committee
appointed by the trustees of Rittenhouse Academy to make a re-
port of this institution to your honorable body, make leave to
report the following:
"This academy is now in operation, and we are flattered
with the prospects that it will add much to the interest and
welfare of the rising generation.
"The branches taught are orthography, reading, writing,
arithmetic, English, grammar, geography, with the use of maps
and globes, astronomy, mensuration, trigonometry, geometry,
moral intellectual and natural philosophy, belles-letters, the
Latin and Greek languages.
"As to funds, which are at present available, the trustees
are unable to make a report, as an act of the general assembly
of 1821 appropriating the rent of certain lands to the institute,
which has since been repealed, the sum received by the trustees
has been $289. 50. Said sum having been appropriated for re-
pairs.
"The trustees beg leave to represent to your honorable
body that our buildings are much out of repair, the institution
is now in debt, no means available by which we can be reiiev-
ed. We beg leave to suggest to your honorable body the ex-
pediency of fostering and cherishing such institutions as are most
likely to secure permanent harmony and welfare of the yeom-
anry of our country. Trusting that the confidence which we
entertain in the guardians of our liberty, we beg leave to call your
legislative attention to the furtherance and promotion of edu-

cation, impressed with the assurance that a subject fraught with
so much good to the rising glory of our republic, will meet with
the warmest co-operation of an enlightened legislative body.
"Thomas Brown, W. S. McEwen, William B. Clark,
Jacob K. Spooner, committee."
Mathew Sullivan was an assistant teacher at this time, but
was succeeded in 1828 by L. J. Likins. Jacob Spooner and his
assistant had classes in the following books:
Murray's Grammar,, S. Pike's Arithmetic, Adam's
Geography, Blair's "Lectures," Paley's "Moral Philosophy,"
"Conversation on Natural Philosophy," "Conversation on
Chemistry," Euclid (three books), Gibson's "Surveying,"
Hedges "Logic," Locke's "On the Understanding," "Ruddu-
man's Grammar, Crowder's Greek Testament, John and the
Acts (historear sacre), Ovid's "Lucian" (half through; "Xeno-
phon" (Ceasar's Commentaries): Homer's "Virgil and Sallust"
Cicero's Oration (Latin prosedy): Horace's "Oration."
The same year Jacob Spooner resigned, L. J. Likens was
made president with Albert Allcorn as assistant. Ill health caus-
ed Mr. Likens to resign the next year and William J. Keith
succeeded him.
In 1831 William Wilson brought a recommendation from
the Rev. Isaac Anderson and was employed as president.
Thomas N. Clark, Sr., had deeded 1½ acres of land to the
trustees of Bethel Presbyterian church in 1823 for the sum of
$1. In 1832 the contract was let to Thomas Crutchfield to
erect a new academy in Kingston, Joshiah Smith, who was
teaching a private school in the academy in 1832, was elected.
president and a female school was allowed the use of the old
building. The president was ordered to advertise in the Knox-
ville Register the commencement of the next term.
The record of 1835 shows William Brown, John Byrd
and William B. Clark as having been made trustees, George
Rich as president with Miss Pheobe Rich assistant. The
academy continued under their management until 1837 when
Mr. Rich removed from Kingston and his daughter was allow-
ed the use of the building for a primary school until another
teacher could be found.
In 1838 Dr. Richard Richards and Philip Beddo were
appointed trustees by the legislature and Benjamin F. Smith
elected president. He was succeeded in 1845 by Benjamin V.
Irvine and the minutes say that it was agreed by the trustees that

females would be admitted to the academy, although the list of
students of 1828 included girls.
Mr. Irvine served four years as president. Henry W. Von
Alderhoff, a Prussian nobleman, who had taught at Forest
Academy at Athens when Senator J. T. Morgan was a stud-
ent, was given the office with a salary of $300. per session.
In 1852 Athens made an effort to secure Mr. Von Alder-
hoff, and as an inducement to remain in Kingston, his salary
was raised to $400, with John Fleming as assistant at $100 per
session. The school had grown until there was not room in
the academy and the board rented a house from George Yost
until an addition could be built.
When Mr. Von Alderhoff resigned in 1856, his place
was filled by William G. Loyd, of Chattanooga. George Mc-
Duffee, John Y. Smith, Samuel DeArmond, W. S. Center and
James McNutt were trustees appointed by the court during the
late 40's and during the 50's. In 1861 the court added the
names of A. O. Fisher, James Martin, Newton Patterson, Wil-
liam Gurscot and Freemoten Young and the board advertised
for a suitable teacher.
In January, 1862, the Rev. Samuel Roberts was employ-
ed as principal, and then the record of the school ends, to be
closed until the war is over.
The academy was re-opened in 1871 with John R. Neal,
who had returned a Colonel from the Confederate Army as
Principal.

The Treasurer's records show that more money was
spent on window panes than almost any one thing. One old
rule was that the students were not to study aloud. An old
story that has been handed down from the early days of the
Academy is amusing. Mrs. B. was passing the school one day
just as the school closed, and the larger boys rushed out, some
reciting "Alpha-Beta-Chi-Delta-Gamma at the top of their
voices, and scared the old lady so much that she rushed into the
house next door crying "Sister S. save me, they are running
after me yelling "catch her, beat her, kill her, dam her."

PART FOUR
EARLY MARRIAGE LICENSES
From 1801, when the County was organized until 1838
no record was kept and the Marriage Licenses were scattered.
They have lain for many years in the dust and trash of the
third floor of the Court House and some are so faded that it
has been almost impossible to read. In some of the names and
dates, therefore some mistakes may have been made.
("M. G." abreviation for Minister of the Gospel.)
("J. P." for Justice of the Peace.)
These lines are written on the back of the marriage license
of Joseph Nail and Alonia Nimsco married March 14, 1817.
"With pleasure I record the tale,
This day was married Joseph Nail,
To Miss Alonia Mimsco White.
Both were agreed, 'twas there for right,
By me, Alex Nesmith, a Justice of Peace
For the County of Roane, I did act in this case,
And tho' I believe no one there wished me harm
Not a nerve in my body but took the alarm.
Oh! sensibility, offspring of Jove,
Thou source of wildest wrath and softest love,
By these we are taught to tell another's woe,
And just as keenly taste his pleasures too."
March 14. 1817
Alexander Nesmith. J. P.

On the back of the marriage records of Jesse Hays and
Eveline Keith are the following lines.
March 6, 1836.
"Comments by Richard Richards, M. G."
Said Jesse to Evéline, "let's us marry,"
Said Eveline to Jesse. "You might be sorry,
You are only seventeen,"
"Yes", said Jesse the not to fasten,
Children to marry are very keen.
"We will send for the Parson."
The work was done, the not was tied
Between the boy and his bride.
