Next To Colville's Farm

"...downstream on Wolf Creek across the knobs on the next tract below Captain Andrew Colville’s farm, 'the muster ground.”'

Muster Ground:

"On Sunday, September 24, 1780, part of the Virginia contingent of the Overmountain Men met near Newell’s improvement on Andrew Colville’s farm at Wolf Creek. “Newell’s improvement” was also known as “Black’s Little Fort” which Joseph Black built as home for his mother, step-father, and orphaned Colville cousins before he began the larger fort on his own farm."
