The County of Davidson was created in 1783 from
Washington County, Tennessee originally part of North Carolina when they
annexed it in 1776. North Carolina ceded Tennessee [Washington
County 1777] to the United States in 1784 to secure federal protection
in the area. After the federal Government refused to acknowledge
cession, the people of Tennessee organized the State of Franklin, which
lasted only 4 years when NC again gained control of the area in 1789.
They again ceded the area to the United States in 1789, thereby forming
the Southwest Territory in 1790
[Spence, Spence's History of Hickman County. Tennessee,
(Reprinted by Edward & Olgia Dotson 1981[source used with permission]),
pg 33.] John Davis pioneer
surveyor........."One of the many proofs of the high regard which those
who dealt with him had for him is the fact that a granddaughter of the
pioneer, William TOTTY, of Sugar Creek, was named Sophia Davis,
this being the name of one of the pioneer, Davis' daughters who in 1815,
married Joseph W. Horton, of Davidson County. Davis
was a tall, slender man, possessing wonderful powers of endurance.
He could subsist for days on parched corn when out surveying. John
Davis, son of Frederick Davis and Fannie (Grieves) Davis, was born in North
Carolina on July 30, 1770. He came to Davidson County
in 1788; in 1791 he was with the party that buried Edwin Hickman; in February
1794, he was out under Capt. Thomas Murray in an expedition against the
Indians near Muscle Shoals, and later in the year was with Nickajack expedition.
His last service against the Indians was in January, 1795, when he was
out with a detachment of mounted infantry. In 1789 he married Dorcas
Gleaves and became the father of ten children. His wife died in 1851,
and he, at the age of eighty-three, died suddenly and peacefully in 1853.
He was not ill, and was lying down waiting for breakfast when the summons
came. He lived and died in Davidson County, but there
are few districts in Hickman
County where his name is not met with in connection with its early
history."
