Cataloochee tract 309: E. A. Wood

  • Tract 309, on the Cataloochee-Jonathan Creeks Divide, was owned by E. A. Wood. 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.

The entire tnet, as well as thi,sportion, lies wholly within the b$unds of state GrEuft 251t, , issued to John Gray Blount, Nove·mber 29, 1796. As the title to the hol dings under this gr8,llt has be•n analyzed in detail in the analysis of t1.tle to the Sidney Nelson traot • the same wil+ not be repeated herein, but maY be seen by refe1'ence to pe.ge.s 1 to 10, Book 7, ot this abstract, 2• On May 26, 1874, the Executors of James Jr~. Love, by deed in regular .rorm, properly executed and or reoo~d in Haywood county, .. oo.nveyed to J. M. Davis, J. H. Davis and .J. L. Davis; 306 acres. Desortp~ ion is . by metes and bounds. The records dis~lose no instrument by which t1 tle to these lends passed from the grantees above mentioned, However we are of the opinion that anyone attempting to oleiin tttle under this deed would be barred by the statute of Limitation and by long adverse poc.seasion. pt.. ~ji/M~ (,. y., ,..?
