John and Emaline sold 5 acres of ground to the Methodist Episcopal Church South in a warranty deed dated 10-Sept-1870 and filed 8-Mar-1887. It was recorded in book 33-Pg-611 Iron County and $50 was paid for the land. It was in Section 28, Twp. 21 N Range 3 E and was a little North of where Little Carver Creek runs into Carver Creek. In the mid 1880's, the Lewis and McKenzie families built the church that would be known as Emily's Chapel sharing in the labor and cost of materials. Janet's dad's cousin Kathyrn (McKenzie) Vickery said her father helped to build the benches when he was 15 and he was born in 1871.

Cocke County, Tennessee
Early Settlers of the Old 12th District

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a list of early settlers who lived on the waters off Cosby and Groundhog creeks, creeks that are mostly in what was
the old 12th district of Cocke County. This list comes from land entries on Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA) microfilm #36. The label on the copy of the film I have says the and entries are on the second item on the film; they are on the third item. It also gives dates of April 1874 to June 1898. These may be the years
that the original book was copied or families brought the originals to be re-recorded. The actual dates of the land entries are 1824 to
about 1831, making them some of the earliest surviving records of Cocke County.

The original land entries were surveys and included drawings as well as descriptions. The drawings were not copied into the new book. The verbal descriptions often included reference to neighbors. And there were always two names at the left bottom of the description. I believe these were witnesses or attestors. I think they were also neighbors.

I have abstracted the page numbers, landowners? names, dates they
made the entries, any reference to neighbors, and the attestors names. Most of the landowners lived on the waters of Cosby Creek; I specifically mention those that lived on Groundhog Creek.
