Transylvania Company
Petitions to the Virginia Convention.
FORT BOONESBOROUGH: This fort was established in 1775 in current day Madison County, on the south bank of the Kentucky River. In February of this year, Captain William Twitty, James Coburn, James Bridges, Thomas Johnson, John Hart, William Hicks, James Peeke, and Felix Walker, came from Rutherford County, Kentucky. They traveled on to the Wataugh (Tennessee) River awaiting the signing of the treaty with the Cherokee Indians. Daniel Boone was then sent into the area as an agent for the Transylvania Company. The men mentioned above under Captain Twitty and Boone united and proceeded into Kentucky. Those with the Transylvania Company included Thomas Hart, Nathaniel Hart, David Hart, John Luttrell, William Johnson, and James Hogg from Orange County, Virginia, as well as John Williams, Leonard Hendley Bullock, and Colonel Richard Henderson from Granville, North Carolina.
