This 35-acre tract 240 in Cataloochee was owned by V. A. Campbell. 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.

Campbell, and is totally embraced by state Grtult No, 252 issued to .rohn aray Blount. As we have treated State Grant No, 252 by meene .conveyanoea :rrom the time said #ant was issued up through and including the time said grant passed bJ the last wi~l and testament of James :R. Lo'te to his executors,. the same will not be repeated here • but may be seen by refel"ence to the analysis ot title ot the Sidney Nelson tract • beginning w1 th parasraph one and ending w1 th paragraph ten ot said analysis, page three of this abstract. 2, The first 1nst~ent we will consider atteoting Tract No, 240 is a deed from vv, n. Thomas, R. a. A. Love, William t. II1111ard and Samuel L. Love, executors, to J, R. Palmer. This deed bears date o:r :May 91 188~, and oonvey$ a tract o&ntaining fi:f'ty ao:rea, more or less; wn:toh said tract embraces the land UDder investigation. In making this conveyance, the executors reserve one•halt ot the mineral interest with mining pri'V'ileges. Although this deed is eme­what irregu.l.ar1 ·we are ot the opinion that the irregUla1"i ties have been cured by an agreement and consent Judgment ente.red 1n the ease of w. L. Henry 'tersus w. L. Hilliard. For a resume ot this suit, see the analysis of title of the sidney Nelson tract, page three of this abstract. The above deed is duly recorded in I1aywood County. see page434 o:r t his abstract. 432 3. Thereafter, sometime prior to t?:e . year 1896J,.. _ ':~. J. R, Palmer died intestato v.-1 thout having disposed of that portion of the ·above referred to fifty a. ore tract, which embraces t 'raot No. 240. Therefore, on February 15, 1896, w. A. Palmer and others, heirs at law of J., R, Palmer, filed a pe'tition for partition of the lands Vlhich belonged to J, R. Palmer at his death.- This proceeding appears to be regular, and all parties who ,ere necessary to ·said proceeding were served with summons, or excepted service. .~U'ter considering the petition and answer filed, the Clerk o·r the SUperior Court s igne4 an order appointing commissioners to divide the land owned by J, R• Palmer at his death, · and allot same to the severlal heirsf.'; ~Y the re­port of · the commissioners it appears that a tract of land containing thirty-eight acres, more or less, was alloted to sarah Cald-well ... said thirty-eight acres being a portion of the fi:f'ty acres deeded to :r. R. Palmer by the Love executors, as mentioned in paragraph two or this analysis. Said thirt~eight acres being designated in the report of the commissioners as Lot No. 7. For a copy .of the proceed­ings above referred to, see pageit~5 through i49 or this abstract. 4. It ~ppears trom the records that a few days a:f'ter the petition for partition was filed by the heirs of Jesse R. Palmer• that Mary A. Palmer, widow of JesseR. Palmer, filed a petition for dower. 'l'he proceedings for partition or dower seem to be regular, and a tract of land containing approximately one hundred and forty . . acres was alloted to W.ary A. Palmer · as her dower interest in tl;e lands ot Jesse R. Palmer. The thirty-e1'ght acre tract alloted to Sarah Caldwell was not affected by the partition of dower, and the only rea• son tor showing this proceeding is to show that t e claim of doww -!1.- ot Mary A. Palmer is barred in f:u.l the land of Jesse R. Palmer. For a copy of t he proceedings of dower, see page 45Q thro~ ~53 ot this abstract. 5. We now have the land 'Ullder investigation vated 433 in Sarah Caldwell. As Sarah Caldwell was . the Wife ot D. L; Caldwell, it will not be necessary to repeat in this analysis the different con­veyances or proceedings that vested the title t "o the J:.and under in• veatigation in w. A, Palmer, as, the method by which w~ A41 Palmer ob­tained title to tract No. 240 is the same as tract No. 2l2 ... a, ther&"­fore reference is hl!reby made to the analysis of tract no._ 212•a, para­graph tour through paragraph six ot said analysis. page 361 of t his abstract. By :retel'~noe to paragr~ph seven ot the analysis ot tract No 212•a1 1 t will be noticed that w •. At Palmer and wire executed a deed in -trust to J. R. :Morgan, trustee, Qonveying tract No. 212•a, and also tract lro. 240. This being the case, it will not be necessary to repeat samet and reference is hereb,- made to paragraph seven ot the analysis of t1 tle o:r tr~ct No. 2l2•a, which shows the manner in which J • R. Morgan, trustee, was vested With title to tract No, 240, e, We now have the land under investigation vested in J. R. Morgan. and as title to tract No, 240 vested in v. A. Campbell by the, same conveyance as shown in tract No, 219 1 reference is hereby made to the analysis of title ot traot No, 219 •. paragraph five, whio.h paragraph treats .fully the conveyances vesting V • A. Campbell with title to tract No .• 219 as well as tract I.Yo• 240, '1. As we are partially depending upon possess1 on tor title to tract No. 240, VIe have obtained affidavits of possession, said affidavits may be seen by re:ference to page 4§~ 'threughpage 426 or t his abstract.
