                - State of Tennessee, Chickasaw Bluff, mouth of Wolf River:  Anderson B. Carr and brother Thomas D. Carr, residing at the Chickasaw Bluff, took deposition of Judge Benjamin Fooy, age 59, who resides on the west side of the Mississippi River, nearly opposite the mouth of Wolf River:

Deposition was taken at the home of Patrick Meagher on the Chickasaw Bluff near the mouth of Wolf River on 17 May 1819; Fooy attests that he first came to the Chickasaw Bluff near the mouth of Wolf River in April 1795 and lived there for 2-3 years, then moved to the opposite bank of the river, about ¾ of a mile from the mouth of the river; Fooy states that the mouth of Wolf River used to be about 300 yards lower down the Mississippi, near to where Patrick Meagher now lives

Question #1, asked by Abner Pillow, regarding precise location of principal channel of the river in 1795:  Fooy states that the principal channel in low water was nearly northwest from the house where Patrick Meagher now lives, about 150 yards from the lower saw pit

Question #2, asked by Abner Pillow, whether any part of the Bluff has been formed since Fooy came to the area; Fooy replied No

Question #3, asked by Abner Pillow, whether there was timber that obstructed the view up the mouth of Wolf River from the Spanish Garrison, on the sand beach or island between the fort and the mouth of Wolf River; Fooy states that willows and large timber on the island and under the bluff did obstruct a full view up the mouth of Wolf River

Question #4, asked by Abner Pillow, whether the Bluff has eroded since Fooy came to the area; Fooy states that none of the bluff above Meagher’s Landing, a little below where Meagher’s house stands, which was the landing of the Spanish Garrison below its lower gate, has eroded; Fooy states, however, that erosion has occurred below the Garrison’s lower landing to where the mouth of Wolf River used to be, but not until nearly opposite A. B. Carr’s, and that much erosion has occurred opposite and a little below where Mr. Irvin’s store is, down to Fort Pickering

Question #5, asked by Abner Pillow, whether erosion of the mouth of a secondary river, such as the Wolf, into a principal, such as the Mississippi, is natural; Fooy states that erosion has occurred upstream of the mouth of Wolf River, not downstream, and that he doesn’t know how erosion occurs with other rivers

Question #6, asked by Judge Watson, whether the mouth of Wolf River in 1795 was above or below Meagher’s Landing; Fooy replies that it was above the landing, nearly due west from the lower sand pit, about 150 yards across the bottom from the saw pit, nearly perpendicular above the bottom

Question #7, asked by Abner Pillow, whether he had any other means by which he formed his idea of the course and distance from Meagher’s house to the mouth of Wolf River, other than his recollections; Fooy replied No

Question #8, asked by Thomas Love, whether the Wolf River in 1795 emptied into the Mississippi in the same direction and course as it does now; Fooy replies that the mouth empties a little more west than it used to

Question #9, asked by Thomas Love, as to how far the mouth of Wolf River has moved; Fooy replied about 300 yards below where it is now

Question #10, asked by Thomas Love, whether when Fooy first came to the area in 1795, he saw any evidence of the mouth of Wolf River having been in a different place; Fooy replied that when the Mississippi was full, it overran the mouth of Wolf River and may have, over time, altered the location of the mouth of the river

Question #11, asked by Judge Overton, as to where Fooy thinks the mouth of Wolf River was in 1786; Fooy replied that he could make no guess

Question #12, asked by Judge Overton, whether Fooy doesn’t agree that the mouth of Wolf River must have been lower in 1786 than Fooy first saw it in 1795; Fooy replied that it might be possible, but he doesn’t know

Question #13, asked by Abner Pillow, whether Fooy thinks he could have seen a difference in the mouth of Wolf River in 1795, if it had been lower in 1786; Fooy replied that he couldn’t form an idea, and that the ill health of his family didn’t permit him to continue the deposition any longer

Deposition was taken in the presence of Judge Overton (claiming under J. Rice’s grant), Genl. Thomas Love, Major Abner Pillow (holding part of John Raimey’s entry adjoining Rice)

67           - State of Tennessee, Chickasaw Bluff, mouth of Wolf River:  Anderson B. Carr and brother Thomas D. Carr, residing at the Chickasaw Bluff, took deposition of William McKinney, age about 40, at the house of Patrick Meagher; McKinney states that he came to the Chickasaw Bluffs about 2 years after Judge Fooy, when he was about 15 years old:

McKinney thinks that the mouth of the Wolf River was about 50 yards higher up than where Judge Fooy showed it to the company at the lower saw pit.  He does not know about the slough where the Wolf River is now spoken of by Judge Fooy.  He knows that the mouth of Wolf River is higher up than it was when he first came to the area, but doesn’t know by how much.

Question #1 by Abner Pillow, as to how far McKinney thinks the mouth of Wolf River was from the saw pit; McKinney replies that he doesn’t know

Question #2 by Abner Pillow, as to how wide McKinney thinks the bottom between the saw pit and the mouth of the river was; McKinney replies that he doesn’t know

Question #3 by Abner Pillow, as to whether McKinney has any knowledge of a slough on the side of Wolf River; McKinney replies No

Deposition taken 15 May 1819, in presence of Abner Pillow and Marcus B. Winchester

69           - State of Tennessee, Chickasaw Bluff, mouth of Wolf River:  Anderson B. Carr and brother Thomas D. Carr, residing at the Chickasaw Bluff, took deposition of Patrick Meagher, age about 45, at his own house; Meagher states that he came to the Chickasaw Bluffs at the mouth of Wolf River in 1797 and has lived there since then; he thinks that the mouth of Wolf River at that time was North 67.5 degrees West from its present location, and about 200 feet across the saw ground, and that he has considered cultivating a field under the bluff below the river

Question #1 by Abner Pillow, as to how much bottom land would have been available for cultivating a field when McKinney first settled there, and how wide the bottom was from east to west; McKinney replied that “it was a good smart piece farther upward than down”

Question #2 by Abner Pillow:  “Do you or do you  not believe it was wide as the distance from your cart down to the middle of the ridge in front of said door?”  McKinney replied No.
