SETTLERS AND
INTRUDERS ON CHEROKEE INDIAN LANDS; 1809
Abstracted from the Records
of the Cherokee Agency in Tennessee: Correspondence and Miscellaneous Records.
National Archives Microcopy
M-208, Rolls 1-7, 13.
Transcribed by Janelle
Swearingen 1989; JANEL36@aol.com
From 1801 to 1823 Col.
Return Jonathan Meigs of Middletown, Connecticut was the agent to the
Cherokees. The Agency was first located at Southwest Point, then moved to
Hiwassee Garrison near Dayton, TN. Following a dispute over the title to the
Garrison land, it was moved to Calhoun, Tennessee. During the time Meigs was
the agent, settlers passing through the Cherokee land had to have a pass issued
by the agent. In addition, some settlers who had special skills, such as
blacksmiths, were invited onto the land by the tribe. But there were also many
intruders who attempted to settle illegally and had to be removed by the agent.
This list is gleaned from these records. Note that there is a lot of information
on these rolls, and I am sure I overlooked a lot of other important items.
