Caldwell, and is a :·' portion ot State Grant No. 252 1as.ued to John O,..ay Blount. As the Qhain of title tc:> state Grant No, 252 by l!1esne oonveyaneye.s from John Gray Blount t9 J, R. Love and Robert Love have been treated in the an~rsia of ,title to the tl"act o:r land owned by Sidney Nelson, being th$·Western portion of Traot No. 226• the same will not be repeated her•, but may be seen by re:terenoe to paragraphs . 1 through.., _1_o _ Q,t the analyst• ()f title of the abov~ referred to tract .• page 3 ot this abstract. 2. By ·re:fer(Jnoe to the analysis of title to the Sidnay NelEJon traot• it Will be seen that Robert Love and :r •. n. Love were veqted with title to state Grant No. 252 as joint tenants. see page ~f'Yf. said analysis. Therent'ter; Robert Love diod1 after first :pub- 11$hing hiEJ laS't will and test~nt - however, he failed to dispose ef the Speoulat;lon Lands by ea~d will. He t>.ppo1nted a.s his executors. ;r. R. Love, Dillard Lo'V'e, John B. I..o-ve and William Welch. lh On August 17• 18581 J. Rw Love, Dillard love• John B. Love and W1ll1a.m Welch, executors of Robert LQve, -deceased,_ oonvey~4 to Levi B. Caldwell a tract of land containing 150 ao~es 1 which bound ... a:ry emb:raoes all thE) land now unO.e:r tnvestisation. However, this deed is onl-y- s1gn$d by .r. :R._ Love 1 1nd~v1dU$lly, and ;r., n~ Love, executor. We are or the o;p1nion that 1 t is 1nu:nate:r1e.l whether or not the remainder or tbe e•o.utors signed• as Robert Love fa11EJ4 to dispose Qf the speou ... lat1on Lands by his will, and therero:re, his executors had no authority 94 , or power to convey the said land; and as R. J. Love in t he beginning owned one-halt of State Grant No. 262 in his own right and by virtue ot an agl;'etement en-tered into betwe.m the said ;r. R. Love and t he heir• at law of Robert Love, deceased, (see page ..M._ot t hie abstract} he became the owner of fourteen twenty-fou~hs Of all the Speculation Landa, State Grant No. 252 inclusive, and by the aforementioned agreement, the said ;. R. Love he.ld t he legal title t() t he remainder or th~ Spepula• tion Lands,as t:r!l1$tee, with full power and authority to make deeds to . . ... -··-····---- - ·-~ . any portion of said Specula:tion Lands. This agreement above mentioned was later ratified by a consent judgment in the oase of w. L. Henry, · administrator,. vs w. L. Hilliard, et al. See page.!!_of t his abstract. In this judgment, t he heirs at law of Robert Love, deoeased* and J. R. Love, deceased, rqtii'ied and conf irmed all sales of the specule.tion Lands ~de before the date of said judgment; therefore, we are or the opinion that even though the oo.nveyanoe to Levi Caldwell was irregular and not a good oonveya.noe in the beginning, any defect that might be found in said conveyance has been cured by t he agreement and judgment above referred tOo. This deed is of record in Haywood county. See page - ~~ of t.h is abstract. 4. Thereafter, Levi Caldwell died intestate leaving surviving him as his only heirs at law t he persons named in an affidaVit on page- 99 or t his abstract. 5. On April 251 18781. the heirs at law of Levi Cald.,.. well conveyed to Hi;ram J'. Caldwell the land under investigation. Thia deed does nat describe said l ands by metes and bounds, but locates JJaJDe by reference to creeks and adjoining land owners. This deed is duly recorded in Haywood County. See page 97 . of t his abstract, s. On September 101 1918, H. J. Caldwell and wife, Lizzie Caldwell, conveyed t he l and under investigation to R, E, Cald• well.

This 123-acre tract 214 in Cataloochee was owned by Eldredge Caldwell. The Caldwell House in Big Cataloochee is among the few preserved structures that remain today. The house was built between 1898 and 1903 by Hiram Caldwell. The Caldwell Barn, adjacent to the house, was built in 1923. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes. A few historic buildings have been preserved on site, including two churches, a school, several homes, and outbuildings. The North Carolina Park Commission was tasked with purchasing land for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and people living in Cataloochee were among those displaced. Cataloochee families continue to return for annual reunions. In 2001, the National Park Service re-introduced elk into the valley.
