ensued. Fleming and Lewis were wounded in the first assault - ^the latter mortally - but refused to leave the field until the main line came to their relief. The contest lasted the whole day, with varied success - each line receding or advancing alternately, as the fate of war seemed to balance between the two armies.
In August, 1775, Rev. William Tennent informed the Provincial Congress of South-Carolina, that Cameron was among the Over-hiU Cherokees, aud would soon join the disaffected with three thousand Cherokee gun-men, who will fight for the king. An Indian talk waa intercepted, which contained an assurance from the Cherokees that they were ready to attend Cameron^and massacre all the back settlers of Carolina and Greorgia, without distinction of age or sex.
Dufing the progress of the negotiation, the Commissioners r^roached the Cherokees ^ith a breach of good faith, on aOcouRt of some massacres that had been perpetrated duriBg the suspension of hostilities. They excused themselves by ascribing these murders to the Chickamaugas, a tribe settled on a creek of that name, whose chieftain, the Dragging Ga^ noe,,had refused to accept of peace on the terms offered by CoL Christian.
Still, nothing less would keep the savages in their towns, or prevent more cruel massacres of the whites upon the frontier. Sevier had but one man killed at Tuckasejah, and but one "wounded, and he recovered. Ten of the prisoners resided with Colonel Sevier three years, and were treated with humanity and kindness.

Brothers : - You have spoke to me. I am very thankful to you for it My brother, William Christian, took care of every body, and was a good man ; he is dead and gone. It was not me nor my people that killed him. They told lies on nie. I loved Col. Christian, and he loved me. He was killed going the other way, over the big river.
Hall and W. Gibson, settled this year above Bledsoe's Lick, and Charles Morgan established a station on the west side of Bledsoe's Creek, five miles from the Lick. The Indians killed Peter Barnett and David Steele, below Clarkesville, on the waters of Blooming Grove. They also wounded William Cratoher and went off, leaving a knife sticking in him ; .
During the inception and progress, and even after the 1191 \ signing and execution of the Treaty of Holston, In- ( dian hostility continued. In May, John Farris was wounded, and Mr. Miller and five of his family killed, and his house robbed, on the Rolling Fork of Cumberland. In Russell county, Virginia, near Moccasin Gap, Mrs.
In February, of this year, Col. E. Robertson informed Governor Blount of aggressions by the Indians, and that on the 27th, in the evening, they killed Mr. Thompson in his own yard, and jumped into his house and killed all the women and children except two. The Governor also received information from Captain Craigt whom he had despatched on a mission to the Lookout Towns, that some prisoners and scalps had been brought in by the Turtle-at-Home, and that at night a scalp dance was there held, at which Richard Justice and the Glass took the scalps, and tore them with their hands and teeth with great ferocity, as did also the warriors generally, with all the forms, gestures, exultation and declaration of a war dance ; and that the warriors from Running Water coming in afterwards, renewed the war dance, and gave other indications of hostile intentions ; that the Shawnees, in their invitation to the Cherokees to join them against the United States, after St.

At Nickajack were found two fresh scalps, which had lately been taken at Cumberland, and several that were old were hanging in the houses of the warriors, as trophies of war ; a quantity of ammunition, powder and lead, lately arrived there from the Spanish Government, and a commission for the Breath, the head- man of the town, who was killed, and sundry horses, and other articles of property, were found, both at Nickajack and the Running Water, which were known by one or other of the militia to have belonged to different people, killed by Indians, in the course of the last twelve months.

61 businesses
Every Sanborn volume opens with a printed index
naming the town's mills, tanneries, hotels and works by proprietor. Those
indexes were read off the scanned sheets by machine and then matched to each
other, so a business surveyed four times appears here once, with the years it
survived. 14 of these 61 were named in more than one atlas. Each carries a
crop of the line it was read from: the spelling is the recogniser's and the
1880s lithographer's, and the scan behind it is the proof.

The most serious of them, by death, then
injury, then recorded damage. The accounts are quoted exactly as the
forecast office filed them.
The emergency manager summed the event by saying, we had roads, bridges, culverts, everything with high water, and so many responders in rescue boats.||The Little Salt Creek basin was hard hit around the town of Jackson. Several homes were surrounded by water knee deep in the town of Jackson, plus in the villages of Oak Hill and Coalton. Basements were flooded. One resident had 3 feet of mud in their basement, saying, it occurred all in just 10 minutes. The resident said they had seen flooding, but nothing like this. Firefighters and deputy sheriffs evacuated about 100 people from their homes. One hard hit area was an apartment complex on Huron Street in the town of Jackson. One resident said, it got into our home very fast, flooded our vehicles, and we had no way out.' A number of folks were stranded in flooded vehicles too. The county reported over 65 water rescues. Temporary shelters were opened at the Oak Hill firehouse and a church in Jackson. The state of Ohio reported 40 homes had major damage and 35 homes had minor damage. Eleven businesses had minor damage.
Scattered locations throughout the county had large trees and branches blown down. Around 8,000 customers lost electric power. Even a nursing home facility did not have power restored until 4 days after the storm.||Damage assessment across the county included 2 homes destroyed and 2 with major damage. The public infrastructure damage assessment was around $600.000.
Many roads became impassable. Water rescues from vehicles occurred around the communities of Coalton and Oak Hil. Evacuations occurred in the town of Jackson. Water collected in yards and around homes. Most of the damage reported to the county involved its road system. A few small roads had culverts washed out. Some of the flooded streams included Salt Lick and Four Mile.
Many roads were impassible. Several water rescues occurred from stalled vehicles. A woman was stranded in a park by high water and was rescued by boat. Businesses in the community of Jackson saw urban runoff get inside. This included the state motor vehicle registration building on Huron Street. Condominiums were also flooded on Huron Street.
Barns and shell storage buildings with corrugated metal roofing were damaged. One side of a slanted roof to a cinder block building was blown off. The damage was east of Oak Hill, along Moriah Road and Route 279. Power poles were also brought down by fallen trees.
The sheriff reported 20 roads flooded by small streams. A 300 acre freshwater impoundment near Oak Hill spilled over the dam, taking some rocks with it. Water came through the emergency spillway as it was designed. About 160 tons of limestone was trucked in, to reinforce the 15 foot dam. A state official said, "it was a catastrophic rainfall."
An EF0 tornado, with a maximum estimated wind speed of 85 mph, touched down across the northern portion of James A. Rhodes Airport near Jackson. It damaged a hanger, including bending some of the metal roof and an overhead door. One single engine aircraft was pushed 30 feet and flipped onto a car, and another was pushed about 60 feet and suffered a landing gear collapse. Several large trees were also snapped. Several videos of the tornado were recorded by bystanders.
Numerous locations in Jefferson Township had uprooted trees or the tops of the trees snapped off. Funneling of the wind through the valleys exposed to the northwest, or across nearby open areas, enhanced the wind. From the damage surveyed, gusts were estimated between 60 and 70 mph by the National Weather Service survey team. One concentration of tree damage was near the intersection of Four Mile Road and Dark Hollow Road. Another area of tree damage was along Dan Davis Road near Hewitt Run. At one resident's home along Dan Davis Road, fallen trees damaged their pickup truck and car. Along Franklin Valley Road, a resident's flag pole was bent by the wind, while a flag was flying. At least one home along Jackson Lake State Reserve was damaged by fallen trees.
Trees were knocked down along Beaver Pike and around Hammertown Lake. Furniture blew through one window of a house. At least one house sustained roof damage.
Rains of 2 to 3.5 inches fell from the community of Jackson on north, toward the Vinton County border. The cooperative observer at Jackson measured 3.3 inches of rain. Many roads were closed by overflowing streams. No reports of flooding in dwellings were received.
A weak tornado touched down for a short time along route 32/124. One outbuilding was destroyed, roof damage occurred to several buildings and some trees were downed.
A tornado touched down near Mount Zion Road where some minor tree damage occurred and swirl patterns were found in a hay field. The tornado tracked northeastward across State Route 139 where tree damage occurred and an outbuilding was damaged. It continued to skip along causing intermittent tree damage in neighborhoods north of State Route 32. The tornado knocked a tree down onto a vehicle at Hope Haven School then snapped or uprooted several trees, some onto vehicles, behind Rowdy's Smokehouse. This is where the tornado reached maximum EF1 intensity with winds estimated up to 90 miles per hour. ||The tornado then crossed Main Street, ripped a portion of the roof of of the Tractor Supply building, flipped over a parked semi trailer in the parking lot and then caused roof damage to buildings in the Senior Village. Some minor tree damage was then noted to the east of US-35 along Pattonsville Road where the tornado path ended.||This was the 8th known tornado in Jackson County and the 2nd so far this year.
Multiple trees were blown down in the town of Jackson, some of which fell onto vehicles. Structural damage to commercial and residential buildings were observed, including roof damage in the southern part of the city along and near Route 93, just north of Route 124.
Numerous areas of damage were observed along Route 124 in the vicinity of a hospital south of the town of Jackson. The damage included numerous downed trees and power lines, sections of roofs peeled off, and semi-trucks that were flipped over.
A tornado formed along Erwin Hollow Road where several hardwood trees were snapped and uprooted. The tornado then moved northeast over a thick forest of mixed pine and hardwood trees between Erwin Hollow Road and Roberts Road where drone footage showed an extensive area of leveled hardwood trees and EF2 intensity was obtained. The drone footage and ground surveys then showed that the tornado weakened and the path became intermittent as it crossed Roberts Road, where a house was damaged when a tree fell on it. The last damage was noted along Oakland Road where several large pine trees were uprooted or snapped.
Localized rains of 2 to 3 inches likely fell in about 2 hours from a small cluster of training thunderstorms. Street flooding occurred from full culverts and drainage pipes. Water damaged carpet at the middle school.
Sections of pavement were washed off of Lesmil Road near the Jackson County and Vinton County line. A car was also stranded in high water along Lesmil Road.
A path of wind damage occurred in Coalton. The peak wind gust was estimated at 65 to 70 mph by a National Weather Survey team. The path started around the intersection of Route 93 and Wellston Street, then went northeast across Railroad and Exline Streets. The quarter mile path ended around O'Neal and Tank Hill Streets. A few large trees were uprooted. Several tree trunks 6 to 12 inches in diameter were snapped. A few structures had minor roof damage from falling branches.
Several roads were closed by stream flooding, mostly in the eastern part of the county. A few examples were Keystone Furnace Road, Antioch Road, Moriah Road, and Cherry Fork Road. No structures were flooded.

Named settlements recorded in the Geographic Names
Information System, each with the topographic sheets covering it. Villages,
hamlets and abandoned places alike. Each is shown with the nearest named
watercourse or landform and the survey quadrangle it falls on. The 3 places that were also surveyed for fire insurance come first, with the number of atlases and photographs held for them.
The complete index, with nothing left out.
Each of these is a separate record with its own page: a federal survey
