Contributed by Mrs. John R. Barnett, 106 McTighe Dr., Bellaire, TX 77401
GEORGE BLAKEMORE: Buried in family graveyard on Gingerbread fork of Cane Creek.
Joseph GREER settled on his vast domain on Cane Creek near Petersburg. He was a giant in stature, standing six feet seven inches and "well built proportionately." He was one of the forty gallant defenders of Watauga Station in 1769. He was also a hero of King's Mountain, and it was he who bore the news of that splendid victory to Congress, then sitting in Philadelphia. He dressed in the style of the old aristocratic Virginia gentleman. Thomas LEONARD, Hugh M. BLAKE, Jesse RIGGS, Peter LUNA, James BLAKEMORE, Capt. William CRUNK and John and Ezekial MARCH were also settlers on Cane CREEK in the first and second decades of this century. CRUNK and BLAKEMORE were noted for their social qualities, and dances were frequent at their homes.
