K J 102 Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Vol. 3 <J O n e C o n f e d e r a t e S o l d i e r s S t o ry C • U Pvt. Asaph Wilson Sherrill and Deep Creek, t h e only Civil W a r Battle fought in J a c k s o n County, NC Asaph "Asa" "Ace" Wilson SherriU's great-great-grandchildren William Loranzo "Bill" Crawford, Frank Moody Crawford, Jr., Ann Davis Melton, Mary Katherine Sherrill Lowder, and Nancy Sherrill Wilson have always been intrigued by their ancestor's Civil War service. During the early winter of 1864, Pvt. Sherrill participated in the only Civil War Battle fought in Jackson County, North Carolina. The event occurred at Deep Creek, approximately ten miles from his Shoal Creek home. Descendants recently retraced the most evident path Sherrill would have taken to the battle site from his residence (Coordinates: N 35° 26' 26.39'' W 83° 19' 51.05"). Guided by Bill, he shared that nearby Thomas Peak would have been the first station of Asaph's journey as it was a mustering ground for the troops.-At the top of the 2,700' peak soldiers could see northeast up the Oconaluftee "Luftee" River or down the Tuckasegee River. Two cannons were placed on the pinnacle to signal when and from which direction enemy forces were approaching. Bill further explained that after joining the troops at Thomas Peak, Asaph would have then trekked toward Union Hill and the Oconaluftee River which comes out at Birdtown. He would have continued on west down the Tuckasegee River to Ela and the final destination of the mouth of Deep Creek. At the time Asaph's age was 45, ten years more than mandatory service age, which meant he volunteered for service in the-Confederate Army with the famed Thomas' Legion. As a Private with Company C, 69th North Carolina Infantry, he was part of an unconventional force comprised of both highlanders and Cherokee" Indians which had been raised by Col. William Holland Thomas, senator, Eastern Cherokee Nation's advocate and only white chief. The legion began as a citizen brigade for the purposes of defending against local raids. The troops that fought under Thomas became increasingly feared by their enemies. A nearly independent force, they were famous for their skill and persistence in tracking escapees and bushwhackers. The legion also became known for a band of Cherokee Indian soldiers who served the Confederacy, not for the cause but of loyalty to Col. Thomas. Thomas wrote, "the enemy have at least been taught that while we hold the Smoky Mountains, western North Carolina and adjacent portions of east Tennessee are hard to subjugate." Because of their reputation, whether deserved or not, Union Brigadier General Samuel D. Sturgis proclaimed that they "had become a terror to the Union people of East Tennessee and the borders of North Carolina from the atrocities they were daily perpetuating." Each day that passed that eventful winter of 1864 intensified Thomas' concern for frequent Federal raids. One of the most notable was to occur on Tuesday, the second day of February. Sturgis had received intelligence that soldiers from Thomas' Legion were camped in Jackson County ten miles west of Quallatown at Deep Creek (locale became part of Swain County when formed in 1871 from Jackson County), which lay in the midst of the fork of the Tuckasegee and the Little Tennessee Rivers. The probable site lays on the flood plain between what is now West Deep Creek Road and Deep Creek. In hopes of freeing the area of Thomas's force once and for all, Sturgis dispatched Major Francis M. Davidson and the 14th Regiment Illinois Cavalry into North Carolina "to Pursue [Thomas'] force and to destroy it." Accompanied by a three-piece artillery section and some forty to fifty Union guides or spies, the Federal cavalry of 600 slipped through the mountain passes on old Indian trails, following the Tuckasegee River. Just before dawn, arrival was on the west bank of Deep Creek just outside Thomas' camp near Charleston (name changed to Bryson City in 1889). The terrain made a cavalry charge out of the question, so Davidson's troopers had to dismount in order to effectively go into combat. He positioned his men around the camp trapping approximately 325 highlanders and Cherokees against the creek. As the sun rose on February 2,1864, Davidson gave the order to attack. Although completely surprised, the highlanders and Cherokees rallied with remarkable discipline. The Union men began firing on them from the hills above the. camp. A Lt. Horace Capron and the advance men attacked the guard positions, killing or wounding many. Other Confederates began falling back toward the creek. It appeared they would be wiped out. However, they had planned for such an event. As had been done previously at Gatlinburg and other places during the war, some men fired and moved while others began their escape. By some means unknown to us today, they had placed rocks or ropes or both to aid their escape. It had to have been difficult because bullets were bombarding the camp and many women and children were present. During this time if soldiers'were camped near their homes family members would often visit. All were caught in a desperate scramble to get across the creek. In what must have been one of the more amazing evacuations in the war, many of the Confederates escaped across the water. Lt. Capron and his Union 103 Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Vol. 3 men were not finished. They pushed the chase and began crossing the creek in pursuit. But the highlanders and Indians were ready for that and a suppressing fire team was already in place on the bluff on the east side of the ' j creek. When Capron and his men assembled on that side and began moving forward, the Confederates were waiting N"—-/^ for them. They opened fire on the advancing Union Cavalry. The battle raged for more than an hour. Lt. Capron was fatally wounded. Union soldiers collected their wounded men and retreated back across the creek. Versions of the battle and its results greatly differ from each side. One eye witness, L.F. Siler, reported to Governor Vance that, "The Indians fought nobly until the ammunition gave out." Davidson, however, filed a different account. Watching the Indians scamper after the skirmish, he must have thought he destroyed their effectiveness. "Less than 50 made their escape," read the Federal report, "the remainder being killed or wounded, so that this nest of Indians may be considered as entirely destroyed, nearly 200 of them having been killed." The Battle of Deep Creek was a sensational affair, for the Northerners thought they wiped out Thomas' Indian companies. Thomas, somewhat amused at the Union accounts, reported his version: "On the 2nd instant (this month) [the Federals]... advanced up the Tennessee and the Tuckasegee to the mouth of Deep Creek where the Indians, under my command, arrested their progress. The enemy lost about 12 killed and wounded, the Indians' ... [lost] five. I am informed that the Northern Papers boast of killing 200." If Davidson's objective was to eliminate Thomas' force, he failed; if he intended to harass the Confederates, he succeeded. According to the North, the Union soldiers had managed to kill 132, capture 54 prisoners (22 Indians and 32 whites) and saw 50 enemies escape. The Confederates claimed they lost only two killed and 18 as prisoners. The most viable calculation is the Federal forces lost two killed and six wounded, while Thomas most likely lost ten killed and 32 captured. The forces were destroyed, which confirmed the general belief of the local inhabitants that Western North Carolina was unprotected. Pvt. Sherrill was taken prisoner at Deep Creek along with thirteen other white rebels and eighteen Indian rebels. The captives were escorted by heavy guard to Knoxville, Tennessee where they were confined. Asaph had to leave behind his wife, Talitha Katherine "Katie", and nine children ranging in ages three through twenty-one to fend for themselves on the family farm amidst the chaos from warring factors. William Allison Sherrill, son of Asaph, was like his father in that age did not deter him from volunteering for the Confederacy (mandatory age for service was 18 through 35). In 1862 when just 14, William enlisted with Thomas' Legion. It is not known if 16 year old William participated at the Battle of Deep Creek. Asaph's muster rolls show he along with other prisoners of Thomas Legion arrived at Knoxville on February 7, 1864. The Cherokee prisoners attracted attention from the locals, and they came from miles around to see the Indian's painted faces and their standard Confederate uniforms personally adorned with added beads, bones and feathers. Typically after days of speech-making, promises, threats and persuasion, prisoners were formed into line and the "oath of allegiance" was offered to them. It was extremely rare for a Confederate to accept. Asaph did not take the oath. According to the "Daily Confederate," a Raleigh newspaper, the Indian rebels were promised their liberty and five thousand dollars in gold if they would bring them the scalp of their leader, Col. William H. Thomas. The Indians agreed to the proposition and they were released. They returned to their native mountains, found Col. Thomas and told him what had transpired. It was also reported that in early March all of the Cherokees and two of the whites from Deep Creek and subsequent raids took the oath. This undermined the Cherokee participation in the Confederate cause. Weeks later, Asaph's muster rolls reveal he was slated to be sent to Camp Chase at Columbus, Ohio. There was not a record of him arriving there, but on February twenty-eighth he was sent to a military prison in Louisville, Kentucky "for exchange." General Ulysses S. Grant would soon make it known he was against the practice. SherriH's last destination was Fort Delaware Union Prison in Delaware. The mode of travel to prison was more than likely via railway and then by steamship into Delaware Bay. One month after capture at Deep Creek, North Carolina, Pvt. Asaph Wilson Sherrill arrived at Fort Delaware Union Prison on Friday March 4, 1864. The prison was located on Pea Patch Island, in the center of Delaware Bay, two and a half miles from the mainland on either side. Asaph would spend the last full year of his life in the prison before him. He set eyes on a granite fortress built in the shape of a pentagon which was traversed by ditches of sea water. Because of overcrowding, Asaph was assigned to one of 54 wooden barracks located outside the fort walls on the northwest side of the island. The common wooden sheds were to accommodate about ten thousand prisoners, but at this juncture of the war, there were about twelve thousand prisoners to be housed. Sherrill walked on plank ways covering the marshy ground to a barrack to be confined in a room 19 by 60 feet where all other North Carolinian prisoners were assigned. There were three tiered bunks on either side with a narrow passage between. He was only allotted one blanket. In the center of the room was one stove, and there was an allowance of one barrow-load of coal per day. ^ y ^J 104 c L , O Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Vol. 3 Asaph had to quickly learn how to survive in living conditions which were publically referred to as wretched. First, he learned not to speak to or approach any of the sentinels. Each day began with roll call. The men were formed in a line, then marched out by a door to a plat of ground, known by prisoners as "Devil's Half Acre," where all remained until the last man of the twelve thousand had passed the doorway and had been accounted for. This generally occupied about two hours even in extreme weather elements. Breakfast was then served in the mess hall, usually around 9:00 a.m. In a long dark room were several rows of long plank tables. Sometimes the food was on a tin plate, other times it was placed directly on the uncovered greasy table. On each table were pieces of bread and meat arranged at intervals of about two feet. Each prisoner took one ration. The bread and meat varied as found in writings of prisoners after the war. All agreed the rations were slight. Assorted breads were described as yellow cornbread three inches long and one inch thick; a small piece of bread made from rye or wheat flour; crackers; three pieces of hard tack; and baker's bread, often stale. Breakfast meat was told to be a very small piece of bacon or beef. Weak coffee served was made from a decoction of logwood and beans. Only two light meals were served daily to Sherrill and others. The dinner fare was served about 3:00 p.m. The food was once again placed in individual servings on the table for the men. The menu was the same as breakfast, a piece of bread and a piece of meat. The meat could have been a small chunk beef which was occasionally all sinew or mostly bone, piece of salt pork or salt beef. Coffee was replaced with corn or bean soup served in a pint tin cup. Once a month inspectors or health commissioners visited the prison, but the officers in charge always knew when they were coming. The mess hall would be clean, beans and meat were in the soup, and a general appearance of good treatment was presented so that a fair report could be made and published. Drinking water was brought from Brandywine Creek about 10 miles away. Many waking hours were consumed with thoughts of food by the starving soldiers. At the end of the day another roll call would be conducted. The prisoners tried to make the lingering hours pass lightly. Occasionally they played games such as cards and checkers or chess. Some formed a debate club and even performed theatrical performances all improvised by themselves. However, the days were over shadowed With suffering and deprivation as well as thoughts of home and freedom. Diseases were the deadliest issue which faced these Civil War prisoners due to impure water, exposure, poor food, and unsanitary conditions. Fort Delaware lost so many prisoners it was dubbed "The Fort Delaware Death Pen." Approximately 2,700 Confederate soldiers died while being held captive. Asaph Wilson Sherrill became a Fort Delaware death statistic. Furthermore, out of 1,184 Confederate soldiers serving from Jackson County, North Carolina, 49 died in Union prisons. Asaph had been diagnosed with dysentery, the greatest single killer of the Civil War. The disease claimed more soldiers than battle wounds. Insufficient medical treatment then became Asaph's worst enemy. He died on March 2/3, 1865. His muster roll records reveal he was buried on the Jersey Shore. Had he survived another month, Asaph would have witnessed the end of the war on April 9, 1865. Sherrill's burial place is now known as Finn's Point National Cemetery located across the Delaware River in New Jersey. A Confederate monument identifies the site, and names of the deceased Confederate prisoners are inscribed on bronze plaques affixed to the base of the monument. Asaph's name and unit appears as "Sherill, A.W. C Thomas' N.C. Legn." A grassy field covers the remains of 2,436 Confederate soldiers who died when they were captive at the fort. Underfoot, there are mass graves, stacked in columns of three or four with men entombed in simple wooden boxes. Graves cannot be individually identified. Charles W. Rivenbark, Fort Delaware Confederate prisoner from New Hanover County, North Carolina who bunked in the same barrack Asaph was assigned upon arrival and was still there following Asaph's death wrote reminisces in 1874 whicn revealed, "A coffin detail was made up every morning, twenty-five rough boxes being the day's task, and more frequently it happened that more coffins were lacking than corpses. Over on the Jersey shore was the burial ground, and there, in the rude holes we dug for them, reposes the body of many a gallant Southern man, whose noble heart once throbbed only for truth and honor and liberty and love and home; whose unrecorded greatness and valor will only be known at the great final day when the graves shall give up their dead and justice at last be meted out to all."

T h e D i l l a r ds P a r t O n e - G e o r g i a B e g i n n i n gs Submitted by Carol Bryson, JCGS member As might be expected, the history of The Dillard House Restaurant ties into the history of Dillard, Georgia. These days the first thing many of us do is Google the history of Dillard, Georgia if you want to know just how the restaurant ties in. When I did-that, I got seemly incorrect information as sometimes happens when someone provides a sketch history without much depth into the records. Several internet articles sfate that Captain John Dillard settled in the Dillard, Georgia area in 1794, on 1,000 acres of land he got because of his service during the Revolutionary War. This cannot be true because in the census of 1790, John Dillard was living in Burke County, North Carolina, having just migrated from Virginia. He was still in North Carolina during the 1800, 1810, and the 1820 censuses. Also, in the year 1794, the new federal government and the state government did not own the lands where Dillard, Georgia is today. It was"Cherokee Indian land at that time. The governments could not legally grant lands in the Cherokee territory uritil after the 1819 Treaty. There seemed a need to get the Dillard, Georgia history out of the realms of a stretched Daniel Boone tale into the truth of its history. So here is what I found. According to his application for a U.S. Revolutionary War Pension dated the year 1833, John Dillard was 78 years old, which makes him to be born in the year 1755. John was'a son of Thomas Dillard I (1706-1774) and Winifred Nallie Aldin Dillard (1705-1774) of Virginia. John Dillard was a young man of 21 when he volunteered into the Revolutionary War under the command of his older brother, Captain Thomas Dillard D, Colonel Lewis and General Stephens on Feb. 1, 1776. John Dillard signed up in the Minute Man militia in Pittsylvania County, Virginia as a private. He achieved the rank of Lieutenant and not a Captain, by his second tour of duty in 1780. Between 1780 and 1790, Lieutenant John Dillard moved his wife and seven children down the old covered wagon trail from Virginia to Burke County, North Carolina. He bought land in 1794 in Sandy Mush and on Turkey Creek in Buncombe County. By 1808, he had bought 160 acres on Flat Creek in Buncombe County. 129 Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Vol. 3 John Dillard was elderly when he arrived in north Georgia. It was his son, James Dillard who took title to lands along the Tennessee River and Betty's Creek, just a few miles south of the state line of Georgia and North Carolina, beginning in February of 1821. He purchased Land Lot 174 in the 2nd district of the newly surveyed lands. James Dillard had to make a trip to Milledgeville, Georgia, the state capitol at the time, to see who had made the original lottery draw purchase of Land Lot 174, so that he could then contact that original owner and offer to buy it. The land lot contained 250 acres. Two years later he went through the same procedure to find the original owners and bought Land Lots 175, 163 and 162, all 250 acres each, lying on both sides of the main road and adjoining his Land Lot 174. Lastly, James Dillard bought a 50 acre tract adjoining in a Sheriff sale for past due taxes, out of the adjoining Land Lot 191 to the north, giving him a total of 1,050 acres. John Dillard and his wife, Ruth Vaughn Dillard first show up to be living in Rabun County, Georgia in the 1830 census when he was 75 years old. The land lot sections began to be commonly known as Dillard's place. James Dillard, the son of John Dillard and Ruth Vaughn Dillard who took title to the lands, married Sallie Barnard and had a large family in the little community of Dillard in Rabun County. Their homestead included nine slaves, three of whom were reported to be over 100 years old. Also James had one male slave of about 30 and one female slave of about 40. James Dillard served as a Justice in the Inferior Court of Rabun County and represented the county in the state legislature in 1824. James and Sallie Barnard Dillard had six children, one of whom was William Franklin Dillard, or Frank, as he was called. Frank married Jeanette known as Nettie Gibson and they had three children. There were two boys, one was James Hiram Dillard and the other was Zachariah Bernard Dillard, or Zack Dillard for short. Their youngest, a girl, was named Sarah Sally Catherine Dillard. Frank Dillard died at 30 years old in the Civil War in 1863. His wife, Nettie Gibson Dillard died in the following year. The three children, Hiram, Zack and Sally, became wards of the local Methodist church, and were raised by three different local Dillard, Georgia families. The Frank Dillard spread was divided between the three children once they grew up. Hiram Dillard, the oldest son married Georgia S. McKinney. They ran a boarding house they named Oaklawn at the same spot where the Dillard House Restaurant is today. Zack, the younger son married Mary Rebecca Ritchie and they enlarged the original rock Dillard house on down Franklin Street, at which they ran another boarding house they called the Dillard House. Zack's boarding house was used as a stagecoach station and a post office in 1890. He named the post office the Dillard Post Office. Hiram Dillard and his wife, Georgia had a son named Arthur John Dillard born in 1884 who opened a general store in Dillard, Georgia. The village of Dillard incorporated into a town in 1906. Arthur John Dillard w. •<-,!-;-_• — -4./// j. K J \-J \ J o Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Vol. 3 married a school teacher named Carrie L. Edwards in 1911. Carrie was from Highlands, North Carolina. Her family goes back to the Edwards family who settled in the small mountain communities of Whiteside Cove in Jackson County and Horse Cove in Macon County. The Edwards family tree ties into the Zachary family of Cashiers Valley in Jackson County. Carrie Edwards' grandparents were Garner Daniel Edwards, Jr. and Anna Jane Zachary Edwards. This picture is of Arthur and Carrie Dillard in 1914 just after their son, Jim was bom, getting ready to depart in their horse-drawn buggy in front of the Oaklawn boarding house. Carrie Edwards Dillard worked at the Oaklawn boarding house, while Arthur Dillard continued to run his general store. Carrie took over the running of the boarding house after her husband's parents got elderly. After Arthur's mother, Georgia McKinney Dillard died in 1938, and his father, James Hiram Dillard was in his 80s, Carrie wanted to change the name of the boarding house from Oaklawn to The Dillard House. So, her father-in-law, Hiram Dillard went to ask his brother, Zack Dillard for his permission to use the name. Zack responded that he was too old to run his inn anymore and did not care if Carrie wanted to take the name. Under the name of The Dillard House, Carrie became well known for her fabulous southern style cooking and jam making. Arthur and Carrie Dillard's grandson, John Dillard continues to run The Dillard House today. T h e D i l l a r ds P a r t T w o - N o r t h C a r o l i n a B e g i n n i n gs U U The Dillard family was in Pittsylvania County Virginia during the 1750s headed by Thomas Dillard I and Winifred Nalle Dillard. In investigating when the family split into the migration to northern Georgia, establishing Dillard, Georgia, and to the Cherokee treaties lands of the mountains of Western North Carolina, we can determine who was the North Carolina link, and when did the migration split occur. Thomas Dillard I's son, John Dillard, entered into the Minute Man militia of Pittsylvania County, Virginia under the command of his brother, Captain Thomas Dillard H during America's fight for independence. John became a Lieutenant in 1780. After his service, Lieutenant John Dillard left Virginia headed for Burke County, North Carolina, then later to Buncombe County, North Carolina. John Dillard left North Carolina with his son, James Dillard's family to settle in northern Georgia, in what became Dillard, Georgia in 1821. In 1779, Captain Thomas Dillard II moved his family from Virginia to the contested area of the far western portion of North Carolina, which lay west of the Alleghany Mountains in that section of old North Carolina stretching to the Mississippi River. The state government of North Carolina reacted slowly in taking up responsibilities of setting up a governing body for the new settlers and offering protection against the Indians in this remote section of the state. Unrest moved in, dividing the citizens into two factions. One impatient rebellious faction believed a new state should be formed. The State of Franklin developed and was created in 1784, but was not formerly admitted to the new United States of America. Another faction held loyalty to the state of North Carolina's jurisdictional claims. Meanwhile some of the Cherokees did not wholly accept that they had formally given up their lands by the 1785 Treaty of Hopewell. The matter was re-negotiated in The Treaty of Holston of 1791 and settled. The State of Tennessee was surveyed off and admitted in 1796, making Washington County where the Dillards settled, fall in the State of Tennessee. Their homestead was in Greasy Cove. This area later became Unicoi County near Erwin, Tennessee. In Greasy Cove, Captain Thomas Dillard II was living near members of the Love family formerly of Augusta County, Virginia. There was Samuel JLove who was married to Dorcas Bell Love. Several of the children, of Samuel and Dorcas Bell Love married into the Dillard family. The daughter of Captain Thomas Dillard, II, Mary Ann Dillard, married Robert Love, a son of Samuel and Dorcas Love in 1783. Robert Love represented Washington County in the North Carolina legislature, and was later the founder of Waynesville, North Carolina. After Thomas Dillard IPs passing in 1784, another daughter, Winnesophia Dillard, married James Love, Robert Love's brother, in 1786. Still another daughter, Martha Patsy Dillard, married Thomas Love, a younger brother of Robert and James Love in 1788.. Then in 1790, the namesake of the next generation, Thomas Dillard i n married a first cousin of Robert, James and Thomas Love, Dorcas Polly Love, a daughter of Joseph Love and Mary Teas Love. They were also married in Washington County, Tennessee. 131 Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Vol. 3 i^t^W. :^C0^l&i Cf-^. ..^IS/V •va* With their true loyalties and connections to the state of North Carolina, some of the members of the Dillard and Love families, decided to move to the remaining section of North Carolina, as close as they could get to the new Cherokee treaty line, where white men were making settlements in what was then, Buncombe County. Robert Love and Mary Ann Dillard Love first settled along the Pigeon River in 1792, then two years later on both sides of Richland Creek, in the area where he founded the settlement of Mount Prospect soon changed to Waynesville. Thomas Dillard III and Dorcas Polly Love Dillard chose the Morgan area along the Ivy River in 1795 and later in 1805 on Flat Creek in Buncombe County. The 1800 census shows him to possess two slaves. By 1810, his Uncle John Dillard's family moved in next to him in Buncombe County, as did his cousin, John Dillard, Jr.'s family. John Dillard Sr. and his sons, John Dillard, Jr. and James Dillard left for Georgia in 1821 and founded Dillard, Georgia. Haywood County was cut from Buncombe in 1808. The Haywood County records show that Thomas Dillard HI gave two slaves to his daughters, Artemesia Virginia Dillard and Esther Dillard, and one to his son, John Love Dillard. Other children were Winnesophia Dillard, Samuel Dillard, Thomas Dillard IV, Stacy Dillard, William Love Dillard and David Love Dillard. Their son, John Love Dillard purchased 170 acres on Richland Creek from Robert Love in 1811. He purchased 50 acres on the Oconeylufty River in Haywood County in 1816. By 1820, John Love Dillard and his wife, Sarah Jacobs Dillard had eight children, and four slaves in their household, living near Felix Walker. After Thomas Dillard III died in 1827, his widow, Dorcas Polly Love went to live on her son's land on the Oconeylufty River. Her son, John Love Dillard had vacated the property and moved his family to Wilson, Tennessee. Dorcas Polly Love sons, William Love Dillard and David Love Dillard were still of her home. She also had taken over the care of her grandson, Lynch Dillard, a child of Thomas Dillard IV and Martha Lynch Dillard. Martha died in 1829, ten days after she gave birth to Lynch. The baby was given to his grandmother, Dorcas to raise. The father, her son, Thomas Dillard IV moved to Gilmer, Georgia, married and started another family. In 1836, Dorcas Polly Love Dillard, being a strong-willed independent woman, decided to purchase her own piece of land. She got a 100 acre land grant on both sides of a branch that ran into Gunters Creek in what was then Haywood County, now Jackson County. Her grown children helped her build a house and she lived with her grandson, Lynch Dillard, who was then seven years old. Most of the grown children of Polly Love Dillard married and moved away. Only three remained to spread their blood ties in Jackson County. The oldest, Artemesia Virginia married Daniel Granderson Bryson who was of the second generation of the Brysons in Jackson County. Daniel offered his home near Scotts Creek, which he ran as a boarding house with Artie, for use as a courthouse for lawyers and citizens to the west of Waynesville In 1851, the state legislature created the County of Estate Papers of Thomas Dillard III, showing the signatures of Dorcas Dillard, Daniel Bryson, and John B. Love, Administrators Jackson and the first organizational meetings of the new county were held there. Daniel G. Bryson and Artemesia Dillard Love had five children including Thaddeous Dillard Bryson, Sr., who was active in the formation of Swain County in 1871, and the founder of Bryson City, originally called Charleston. KJ v _ y W 132 c Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Vol. 3 Dorcas Polly Love Dillard's youngest child, David Love Dillard married Edith "Ede" Jane Harris. They lived in the county seat of Webster and had thirteen children. The generation of their children spread ties to the families of Gibson, Henry, Jones, McMahan, Ward, Parker, Franklin, Shuler, Cope, Nations and Pruitt, to name a few. The third child to remain in Jackson County was actually the grandchild, Lynch Dillard, the only child of her son, Thomas Dillard IV with his young wife, Martha Lynch. When Lynch Dillard was 21, he went to Polk, Tennessee to become a merchant and lived with the family of his Aunt, Esther Dillard Wiggins. After serving in the Civil War as a Confederate Lieutenant under his uncle, Captain Thaddeus Dillard Bryson, Sr., Lynch came back to Jackson County to open a shop in Webster. He was soon elected the Clerk of Superior Court and served the county for nine years, then became a Justice of the Court serving for three more years. In 1868, he moved to the upper reaches of the Georgetown community of Cashiers at the yearnings of his wife who was bom in Cashiers, Sarah Ann Allison Dillard. Sarah's roots goes back to' the Zachary family of Cashiers, just as Carrie Edwards Dillard's of Dillard, Georgia did. The union of Lynch and Sarah Allison Dillard gave birth to five children who later married into the Hooper, Fugate, Nicholson and Picklesimer families of the southern end of Jackson County.
