Holston, and then crossing the fork of
Holston, and going to the Elk garden,
on the waters of Clinch, they found
some Indian signs; they proceeded in
the same direction, crossing Clinch river
to the Hunters valley, so named from
their travelling to-, and down it; they
travelled down the valley seven or eight
days, about south sixty degrees west,
to Blackwater Creek, which they nam
ed; they fixed their station camp near
the road that leads from Rogersville to
Jonesville, or Lee Court House, in Vir-
ginia; there they shot bullets into a
tree to try their guns; the spot on which
it stands, is north, twenty degrees west,
nineteen miles from Rogersville, and
about one mile north of the State line.
Some of the company travelled down
to Greasy Rock Creek, and fixed a sta
tion there; it stood about where the
line now is, between Claiborne and
Hawkins counties; here they hunters
killed great many bear, and their
garments were very much besmeared
with grease; at the place where they
went to the creek to drink, there is q
small rock descending into the water,
upon which they were used to lie down
and drink; the rock, like their gar
ments, became greasy, and hence the
creek took the name of Greasy Rock
Creek.
