Lattimcr v. Poteet Hawkins's line, or any other line, was ever acknowledge* Cherokees or the United States, as the correct one, unless th the treaty of Tellico are deemed to be sufficient for that treaty of Holston was made in 1701; the treaty of Tellic icknouledged, either bv the the last-mentioned treaty recites, that delays bad taken place in carrying the former into effect, so that the boundaries were not regularly ascertained and marked, until the latter part of the year 1797. But the treaty of Tellico gives no description of the marks or of the boundaries thus ascertained ; nor does it state by whom the lines were run, or the boundaries ascertained and marked. I cannot, think, that this recital, and the calls before mentioned for Hawkins's line, are sufficient, of themselves, to establish as a matter of law, that^this line is the true boundary of the treaty of Holston ; and I must dissent from that part of the opinion of the court which holds that, doctrine. At the trial of this case in the circuit court, the jury were instructed, "that the treaty of Tellico is an admission by the parties that the line of the treaty of Holston has been ascertained and marked, and furnishes strong evidence that the lands reserved to the Cherokees by the treaty of Tellico wen,. ^ .. reserved by the treaty of Holston, but does not establish *tbe lines 1 of Pickens and Hawkins, if erroneous in fact." I concur entirely in this opinion of the circuit court ; and as I perceive nothing in the other instructions of that court, as stated in the exception, of which the plaint if has a right to complain, I agree with a majority of my brethren, in affirming its judgment. Wayne, Justice, dissented. Catron, Justice.—I think the treaty of Tellico did not settle the line of the treaty of Holston, from the Holston river to the top of the Iron mountain ; and certainly, not east of the Iron mountain. So that it must now be extended in a direct course, and as a unit, to the line of intersection, running north from the North Carolina line. The land in controversy was granted before Hawkins's line was run ; and which was not marked in execution of the treaty of Holston ; no one pretends it was ; the Indians were not present, which was indispensable to give binding validity to the line. To say it was conclusive on one of the contracting parties, the United States, and void as to the other, the Cherokees, at the time it was run and marked, would be a most harsh assumption in regard to those who acquired titles before it was run ; admitting, that the contracting parties had the power afterwards to settle its position, but which they never saw proper to do. The truth is not open to question, that the Holston treaty line never was ascertained south-east of the Iron mountain ; and with due deference to the opinion of others, I think, not west of it, in execution of, and in ron- formity to, the treaty. Why Hawkins's line was run, the history of our relations with the Cherokees does not, with any distinctness show. From personal position, I happen to know, through those who lived at that date, and by reputation, that it was run to fix some line, beyond which it was intended, the white population should not be permitted to obtrude, further than they had done at the time the line was marked, extending to a few settlers on Nine Mile creek. But that Hawkins's line was run as a conclusive boundary, in execution of the treaty of Holston of 1791, or for any further purpose than to hold the whites in check, for the sake of peace and 14

These copies of federal court records were collected by photographer, George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, photographer George Masa (1881-1933) was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. In 1931, Masa was named to the three-person nomenclature committee for the North Carolina Park Commission and had the responsibility for accurately naming the peaks, streams, and other features. No doubt, these records pertain to the Smokies region and the disposition of land that would eventually become the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
