JOSEPH REED: HENDERSON COUNTY’S FIRST SETTLER<\/h3>\n

\"Joseph In 1817, Joseph Reed, along with his 2 sons, traveled west from Georgia looking for a new home. It is believed that they traveled<\/b> along the Tennessee River until they ran across the Beech River in present day Henderson County. After floating along the Beech River they noticed a nice bluff upon which seemed a good place to start a new life. Leaving his two sons, William and Jack, in the care of a tribe of friendly Indians, Joseph headed back east to get the rest of his family. When he returned the next year the family built a cabin at the top of the bluff. Hauling pine logs from “Pine Knob” in the present day Stringtown community, a couple of miles away, they erected a cabin, the 1st in Henderson County, which would still be standing nearly two centuries later. In 1931, the kitchen<\/b> wing of the house was <\/b>detached and moved to the back of the yard. The house then had clapboard siding attached and a new metal roof put on, but the basic structure, built by Joseph Reed, is still intact inside the clapboard siding.<\/b><\/p>\n
