Located off of Tazewell Pike near Harbison's Crossroads
George Mann
"This Revolutionary War Veteran and homesteader was the last man killed by Indians in Knox County, Tennessee, on the night of May 25, 1795, investigating a noise in his barn, he was ambushed and slain. The Indians later attempted to force entry into the house: his wife fired on and wounded two, whereat the party left, having first scalped and mutilated Mann's body and fired outbuildings."
George Mann hid in a cavern called "Campbell's Cave." This is where the Indians found him, drug him out, and murdered him.
