Christmans' Station is north of Clinch Mountain in Powell's Valley, which settlement begins about 4 miles east of said station; from thence thinly settled to Martin's Old Station, at, or near the said Station, about 100 souls, and about 4 miles north of Walker's Line. Martin's New Station and the neighborhood, about 50 souls. This Station lies between the two lines, all of which have been from the first settling enrolled in Virginia. That part which lies in Washington County is very thickly settled, being about three miles in width and 35 miles in length; were not enrolled in either State last July and is by no means exposed to the enemy.
