Patrick136March 2 1774Wash No further orders pertaining to Washington county were entered by the court until March 2, 1774, on which day Patrick Porter was given leave to build a mill on Falling creek, the waters of Clinch river, this being the first mill erected on Clinch river, so far as the records disclose. On the same day, on the motion of Charles Allison, leave was given him to build a mill on his land, on the South Fork of Holston, near the head spring.
Patrick367Early 1783WashEarly in the year 1783, about twelve years after the first settlement at Castle's Woods, a party of northward Indians invaded the settlement and attacked the fort at Hamblin's Mill.This fort was erected by Henry Hamblin, one of the first settlers in that section, in the year 1776, with the assistance of Henry Dickinson, Charles Bickley, William Robertson, William Russell, Patrick Porter, Henry Neece, William Wharton, Humphrey Dickinson, Frederick Fryley, James Bush, Archelas Dickinson, Samuel Ritchie, Jerry Harrold, Richard and. William Long and William Bowlin, the first settlers in that section.Patrick Porter included in a list of persons that assisted with the erection of the Fort at Hamlin's Mill in 1776. [This probably refers to Moore's Fort or Cowan's Fort, both of which were erected in 1774. I've seen no record of a fort as such at Hamblin's Mill. Cowan's Fort, however, lies near by Hamblin's Mill. Q 19:55, 31 May 2009 (EDT)]
