    "Gen George Rutledge came to the county (Sullivan Co TN) about 1777, and
    located on the small stream known as White Top. About three years later, he
    removed to the farm now occupied by his grandson, William G Rutledge, where he
    died in 1813. He commanded a company in Col Shelby's regiment at the battle of
    King's Mountain, was a member of the constituent convention of 1796 and the
    Territorial Assembly, and after the organization of the State, was a member of
    the Senate until his death."
