This t 'h ;ct is made up ·partly from an origina.l boundary of one hundred and fifty acres deeded to Jeese r .• ?alrner,ond partly from a four hundred acre trnct dePdea to the same perso n. 2.

Palmer -" .. one hund11ecl end fifty r-cres, by metes t..nd boundB ,which bo11ndary em-brHces about teo-thirds of the tract under discussion.There i.e doubt as to the validity of this instrument from the fact that the grantors hud not sufficient right e.nd authority to convey the lsno in question. This defect has been discussed 1.n puragraph three,page ninety-three ]3.,.-f' / of this abstract in the analysis of title to the i . E.Caldwell tract, .A, to which reference is hereby made. _....

This deea is deficient in that ;:Vm.H.Thoma s,one of the E~xecutors, failed to sign. !iowever,thi.s defect was remedied by a cert&in agree­ment and consent jUdf3'ment signed in the case of Henry vs. Hllliard. ' . 4. · Thereafter,some time :prior to the year 'l896, Jesse R.Pal~ ~> mer died intestate withoa.t ever having disposed of the parts of the above menti.oned tracts of land that make up the boundary under discussion. Therefore, on Feb.l5, 1896, W. A.Palmer ,ana o· othere,heirs at law of Jesse R.Palmer,filed petition for partition of the lands which belonged to Jesse R,Palmer .a~ his death. This proceeding appears to be regular and all parties who were necessar7 to said proceeding were served with aammons or accepted servioe, After considering the petition and t he answer filed,t he Clerk of the Superior Court of Harwood County, signed en order ,appointing cowmissioners to divtde the land belonging to Jesse R.Palmer at his dea.th,and allot the same to the several heirs. .By the report of the said commissioners it appears that a tract of land contain­ing eighty-five acres,more or less,and designated as tot. No.l,or Rome Tract,was t.!lloted to Thomas L.Palmer. The greater portion of said tract coming out of the one hundred. and fifty acre tract mentioned in paragr~:ph two above, the remainder embracing some fifteen or twenty acres of the four hllndred acre tract mentioned in paragraph three above, In like zr.anner,Lot No.2,containing fifty-five acres,more or less,and &djioning Lot No.l,wae alloted to Elizabeth Palmer. The greater part of thi.s lot was out of the Four Hundred acre tract and the remainder from the one hundred and fifty acre tract. .. The report of the commissioners making these allotments was dilly con:t'irmed by the court. Record of the proceedings had in this cause have been copied in c.onnection with the title to tract 240,ana· may be seen at ~ages 435 to 449 of thia ubstract. ~~ ). 5. We find. also from the records that a few aays after the filing of the petition by the heirs of Jesse .R.Palmer,th&t hie widow,Mary A.Palmer,filed petition,asking that her dower rights 1.n the lands of her deceased husband be set aside, The same commissioners who acted tn t he -proceedings mentioned in the previoll'a paragraph were a:ppointed to ate in this cause and. allot the doweza interesi of the petitioner. For some reason which does not appear of record,the same boundary comprising Lots No,l and No.2 in above paragrapb,was elloted th Mary A.Palmer as her dower. The coil'lftlissionera report was dulyconfirmed. Record of this p proceeding also has been copted in full in the a.nnlysis of title to tract 240,a.nd may be seen at pages 450 to 463 of this abstract. ZJ~ / 6. As a result of the partition proceedings in paragraph 4 above.ana: the dowet· allotment in paragraph 5,we have title to the lE>nds. under iiscussion.vested,part in Thomas L.Pa.lmer,part in Elizabeth Palmer and in Mary Ann Palmer by two separate proceedings. Under dv.te,.;Tune 30,1896,Eli~abeth :Palmer,by deed in reg11lar form, properly executed and of record in Haywood County,conveyed a fifty­five aore tract,the same be!ng Lot No.2 to Y£ry Ann Palmer.

This 121.5-acre tract 216 in Cataloochee was owned by J. R. Hall. 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.
