| Frontiersman, born in Brunswick Co, Virginia, USA. The ‘Father of Tennessee’, he led the first group of settlers to present-day Nashville in 1780. He proved to be an excellent Indian fighter and a maker of peace treaties with the Chickasaw (1781) and Cherokee (1798, 1807) tribes. He impressed both whites and Indians with his fairness and personal integrity. |
