  • Robertson, James
    Published on NCpedia (https://ncpedia.org) Home > Robertson, James Robertson, James [1] Share it now! Average: 3.1 (51 votes) Robertson, James by Neil C. Pennywitt, 1994 28 June 1742–1 Sept. 1814 Portrait of James Robertson. Image from the North Carolina Museum of History. [2]James Robertson, pioneer, surveyor, soldier, Indian agent, political leader, and founder of Nashville, Tenn., was the son of John and Mary Gower Robertson. Born in Brunswick County, Va., he moved with his family to Wake County [3], N.C., in 1750[*] and spent his youth on a 320-acre farm, located on the south side of the Neuse River [4], that his father had purchased from Nathaniel Kimbrough. Although he obtained only limited formal schooling, he appears to have been at least acquainted with current political thought. Robertson was married in Wake County on 28 Oct. 1768 to Charlotte Reeves [5], the daughter of George and Mary Reeves; the couple had eleven children, nine of whom grew to adulthood. While accompanying Daniel Boone [6] on his third journey across the Blue Ridge Mountains in 1769, Robertson discovered the fertile region along the Watauga River. In 1771, after the Battle of Alamance [7] and the defeat of the Regulators [8] with whom he had a great deal of sympathy, Robertson led a group of sixteen families from the outskirts of present-day Raleigh [9] across the mountains to the Watauga River Valley to settle. They were joined in route by Daniel Boone and his brother, Squire [10], from the Yadkin Valley, along with others from the Sandy Creek Baptist Church section of Orange (now Randolph [11]) County, all of whom were leaving North Carolina to escape the tyranny of the Royal government.

  • Watauga Association Records Are Now Digital
    WATAUGA ASSOCIATION RECORDS ARE NOW DIGITAL Probably the rarest records in the Washington County Archives are those created during the period of the Watauga Association. Only a handful have survived, and now these have been scanned and can be viewed as a digital collection at the following url: https://wctnarchives.org/digital- collections/. The earliest European settlements in the Tennessee region established in the late 1760s and early 1770s were a great distant from any organized government. Feeling the need for some form of local government, settlers in 1772 drew up articles of governance by which to live under what became known as the Watauga Association. Historian and later United States President Theodore Roosevelt called these articles the first “ever adopted…by a community of American-born freemen.” No copy of these articles has been found. The association operated only a few years. In 1776, Watauga residents petitioned the North Carolina General Assembly to provide them with a more formal local government. That year North Carolina established the Washington District to govern its lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. In 1777, the district became Washington County. The association had no courthouse or office for housing records. The few Watauga Association records that have been found in the Washington County Courthouse are now housed in the Washington County Archives. For more on the Watauga Association, see John Haywood, The Civil and Political History of the State of Tennessee (Knoxville: Tenase Company, 1969 reprint); J.G.M. Ramsey, The Annals of Tennessee (Johnson City, Tenn.: Overmountain Press, 1999 reprint); and Samuel Cole Williams, Dawn of Tennessee Valley and Tennessee History (Johnson City, Tenn.: Watauga Press, 1937).

Fifth Grade Social Studies knoxschools.org/kcsathome *There will be a short video lesson of a Knox County teacher to accompany this task available on the KCS YouTube Channel and KCS TV. 5th Grade Topic: Chapters 17, 18, 19 Cumberland Gap and Wilderness Road, the Watauga and Cumberland Settlements 5.29, 5.30, 5.31 Goal: Create a collage to represent one of the important people involved in the settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains. King George III passed the Proclamation of 1763 which set aside the land west of the Appalachian Mountains for the American Indians. It also prohibited colonists from settling there. However, in 1775, Daniel Boone and his party carved the Wilderness Road which became the lifeline to the West. Despite the Proclamation of 1763, many settlements began to develop – including the Watauga Settlement and the Cumberland Settlements. Many people became important parts of the development of the area west of the Appalachian Mountains. •Some of the first settlers in the Watauga Valley were Captain John Bean and James Robertson •1769 – John Bean started first settlement •Developed their own government – formed the Watauga Association and formed laws under the Watauga Compact •Within a few years, conflict grew with the Cherokee leaders - specifically Dragging Canoe, a Cherokee war chief.
