Channel: Cantaloupe Jones
Date: 2023-02-12

In response to the previous attacks on Heaton's Station & Fort Watauga, the Overmountain militia plot the Cherokee's downfall. Then in 1780, while the militia was away at the Battle of Kings Mountain, the Cherokee raided the settlements once again. Once the militia returned, Colonel John Sevier's men meet the Cherokee at Boyd's Creek and sought destruction of the principal peoples' settlements.

Assess the various types of troops in the Pre-Kingsport boat-building town of Christianville that also fought in the Battle of King’s Mountain after a series of talks gone wrong between the two nations, where Oconostota "Groundhog-sausage", Savanukeh “the Raven" of Chote, Oosku'ah “old Abram” of Chilhowie,  Kay-eta-eh “the old Tassel” of Toqua & other Cherokee leaders cede their lands to English colonists in the county of Washington near Long Island of the Holston River and Fort Patrick Henry in Virginia & county of Watauga on the Nolichucky in North Carolina such as Col. William Christian, Col. Evan Shelby, Gen. Joseph Martin, Col. Patrick Henry, Col. Isaac Shelby, Col. William Preston, Col. Gilbert Christian, Col. Elijah Clark, Col. William Christie, John Sevier and other North Carolina commissioners - but the Chickamauga is not so easily discouraged just yet… 
This episode introduces early important figures in the Christianville settlement that is now Kingsport such as Richard Netherland of Netherland Inn, John Carter of Carter County, Gilbert Christian of Christianville, budding landowner Edmund Pendleton & Presbyterian minister Joseph Rhea.
