In Response To: Re: INDIAN AGENTS (Doris)
The reason is why I wanted to know about Indian agents in Bradley County because I remember very well that a family whose surname being Pritchard told the story many times in 1943. They said that their ancestor was an Indian agent. After the Indian removal for the West in 1838 the Indian agent claimed 2, 000 acres starting the point where Cleveland Tire center is now going all way along Wildwood Avenue to Kile Lake, then went all way to somewhere at Highway 64, then all way to Inman Street where this tire company is at. One day the Indian agent’s friend stole a horse, and the agent used most of his land for the friend’s bail bond. After the bail the friend fled and Bradley County Courthouse confiscated the land. The judge was colored. It is a possibility that the Indian agent married an Indian because the Pritchard family had strong Indian blood. The family lived in the old house, now a vacant lot next to the colored funeral home on Inman Street. I am very interested in this history. I never knew the Indian agent’s name. I do not know where the Indians lived in the land of the Indian agent. I would like to know about the story on the friend stealing the horse, etc. Would Bradley County Courthouse have any plat book showing the agent’s land? I know that the Indians lived on Walker Valley where Hardwick Farm is at and Candy Creek, but I never heard about other Indians living somewhere at Kile Lake or some place.

My Indian grandmother was Nancy {full blood Cherokee Indian] married Phillip Davis first found 1820 Meigs Co TE census their daughter Nancy Davis {1814} married William Roy {1816} they are found in the Bradley Co TE census 1850. In 1859 they are in Yellsville, Marion Co Ark. In 1862 a family story says William Roy was killed by the bushwhackers. In 1870 Nancy Roy is in Jasper Co Mo…In 1883 Nancy Roy died in Fannin Co Texas.

Please let me know if you find anything. My 3G grandfather (Robert McNelley) was the publisher /editor… back then. I believe most of the old copies were probably destroyed when the Union Soldiers arrested him since he wrote from a strong pro-south standpoint. While he came back after the war, civil war and earlier editions seem to be hard to find. “War at Every door” is agood book on the period in that part of Tennessee.
