| Zachariah | Isbell | Biography: The Hon. Zachariah ISBELL (son of Henry ISBELL & Hannah Cox), one of the 13 commissioners called "the founders of Tennessee," was born circa 1722 in King William Co./Orange Co., VA and died circa 1788 (1786-90) in Jonesboro, then Washington Co., Tennessee. He is believed to be buried in a lost grave at Cherokee Baptist Church Cemetery, Highway 81, near Jonesboro, Washington County, Tennessee (The monument at Elizabethton, TN records the names of "The Immortal 13." (Founders of This State), but the marker misspells his name). Earliest records spell his name Zachary.
His first wife Elizabeth is identified by various researchers as a LEWIS, a TAYLOR, or Elizabeth CALLAWAY (born Abt. 1725), daughter of Thomas CALLAWAY. If she was Elizabeth CALLAWAY, she was an aunt of the two CALLAWAY girls who were kidnapped by Indians along with Daniel BOONE'S daughter Jemima while paddling in their canoe and later rescued by a party including the two Henderson brothers who later married the CALLAWAY sisters (one of the famous Daniel BOONE stories). Judge Zachariah ISBELL was the first sheriff of Bedford Co., VA; the first magistrate of Bedford Co. (the original court order books are all in his own hand); and helped "lay out" the town of New London, the first county seat of Bedford County. He was a captain in the French & Indian War and was granted tracts of land in Camden Dist. (Kershaw Co.), SC for service in 1754. He moved to his plantation in SC and lived quietly for 20 years until the Revolution disrupted his family life. He was a magistrate again in SC. He was a member of the Anglican church early in life and evidenced neutral or Tory sympathies toward Britain, so he moved to Washington Co., N.C., where he was again a magistrate judge, and was one of 13 commissioners appointed to form the Watauga Settlement which became the State of Tennessee (See 1776 Watauga Petition In 1772, he served on the first court in Tennessee, with John Carter, Charles and James Robertson, & John Sevier, and had the most court experience of all five judges. In 1778, he served on the first court in Washington County (now-Tennessee) with John Sevier (later, the first governor of TN). On March 25, 1775, he witnessed a land lease from the Cherokees to Jacob Brown, making up a large part of Washington County and signed by several Indian chiefs. The huge old tree under which the deed was signed is still there, but lying on the ground.
Zachariah and his son Zachariah Jr. both served in the government of the Watauga Association, and both fought the British in the Battle of King's Mountain in 1780.

Captain James Pearce, North Carolina Line, resided Washington, Greene and Sevier Counties, fought at King's Mountain and Boyd's Creek. When he was a resident of Washington County, "now Tennessee, then in the State of North Carolina, which county was then a frontier and bordered on a Nation of Cherokee Indians who were in liege with the British in the War of the Revolution and was at that time and before and after committing murders and confrontations on the said frontier in which he resided." In the summer of 1779, he raised a company of volunteers in what is now Greene County by order of Col. John Sevier, marching them to the French Broad River, then Indian Territory, now Cocke and Sevier Counties in Tennessee, in company with Capt. Jacob Brown who also commanded a volunteer company from Washington County, their goal to prevent the Indians from crossing the river to the frontier settlements. In the spring of 1780... marched to Beaver Dam on Lick Creek where the Indians had come in on the frontier settlements... In the early fall of 1780... marched to Gap Creek in what is now Carter County, Tennessee, where they were joined by Colonel Shelby's Regiment from Sullivan County, Tennessee and Colonel Campbell's Regiment from the western part of Virginia. They then marched on to "Kings Mountain atop the Yellow Mountains" by way of Bright's Trace. He further states that there was a hard battle fought on Kings Mountain, in which the American army was successful, the British Colonel killed and his army principally killed and taken prisoners. Immediately after his return to Greene county... march[ed] with his company to guard the frontier neighborhood on the Lick Creek flats against the Cherokee Indians and prevent Indian spies from getting into the white settlement.... marched his company and joined Colonel Sevier's regiment on Lacy Creek, now Jefferson county, Tennessee, in accordance with the order of the said Colonel Sevier. From thence, marched over the French Broad River, encamped on Boyds Creek... having served the full time of nine months in said campaign.
That he resided, as before stated, in Greene county, then Washington co., and there resided for many years but recently removed to Sevier... (See Capt. James Pearce) |
