   pg. 49.

   Probably in the early fall of 1780, Edward Swanson was married to Ned Carvin's widow, Mrs. Mary Luny Carvin, for it is said that after Colonel Robertson married Capt. Leiper and his wife, "other Judges or Triers at various stations deemed it suitable, right and needful to unite other parties as man and wife."
   
   Mr. James Shaw, one of the trustees, and "Chairman of the Committee" of the Provisional Government, performed the pleasant ceremony, by which Edward Swanson was made "the lawful husband, and widow Carvin the truly wedded wife, and "enjoined to live together as such lovingly."
   
   Mr. Shaw is also said to have married James Freeland to Mrs. Maxwell, Cornelius Riddle to Jane Mulherrin and John Tucker to Jenny Herod, the same day he married Edward Swanson to Mrs. Carvin. These are generally agreed to be the next marriages succeeding that of Captain Leiper and his wife.

   Col. Richard Henderson's body servant and negro cook, Jim, was killed by a party of Indians near Clover Bottom. His master had begun the erection of a camp at that place, a short way above that occupied by Colonel Davidson, but at the time was away on a visit to forts in Kentucky. Jim and a young white man, a chain carrier in Henderson's surveying party, were about to begin a journey down the river by canoe from the camp to the Bluff. The savages were in hiding in the thick cane on the bank and fired upon them with the above result. The white man, Jim's companion made his escape. One of the emigrants, Ned Carvin by name, had made an entry on land four miles east of Nashville. He built thereon a cabin in which he lived with his family. One day while hoeing in his garden beside the house he was shot by the Indians from the neighboring thicket and instantly killed. His wife and two small children escaped by a door on the opposite side of the cabin and hid in the cane near by. For some unknown reason they were unmolested, and after remaining in hiding all night in the woods made their way in safety next morning to Eaton's Station. Here they were kindly comforted and provided for by the settlers.
