Isaac WALTON... In 1799 Isaac WALTON asked the Legislature to appoint a commission to mark out and locate a wagon road over the Cumberland mountains between Southwest Point and the confluence of the Cumberland and Caney Fork near Carthage. Pushing his project with great success, WALTON became contractor to build the road and later became owner of it. The road was completed in 1801 and was heavily traveled by immigrants to Sumner County thereafter. WALTON operated supply stands for travelers at Pekin in Putnam County, White Plains, Crab Orchard and Kimbrough's in Roane County..

Doubtless prompted by the spread throughout the county of the great revival, Isaac WALTON in 1800 gave a six-acre tract of land located on the east bank of Mansker's Creek on Long Hollow Pike in Sumner County for a meeting house and campground. The meeting house was built of white ash logs and was about thirty-two feet wide and forty feet long. "Walton's Campground" became a familiar name throughout the Cumberland country. When there was a revival meeting at the church, people came from miles around with their families and camped out for the term of the meeting - usually seven to fourteen days. From It is a Goodly Land by Henderson & Garrett, pages 79-82:...He was once again selected to serve in the states constitutional convention in 1834. He was twice elected to the House of Representatives, serving in the Third and Eighth General Assemblies...Isaac WALTON apparently opened his house to lodgers as many did during the frontier period. In 1810 the celebrated author of American Ornithology, Alexander WILSON, spent two days at the WALTON house, exploring the surrounding area for new species of American birds. During his visit he identified two birds which he appropriately named Tennessee Warbler and Nashville Warbler.

WILSON'S letters provide an excellent picture of the WALTON home and insight into the character of Mr. WALTON. "On April 25th I breakfasted at Walton's, thirteen miles from Nashville. This place is a fine rich hollow, watered by a charming, clear creek and never fails. Went up to Madison's Lick, where I shot three paorquets and small birds. On April 26th I set out early, the hospitable landlord, Isaac WALTON, refusing to take anything for my fare, or that of my horse, saying -'You seem to be traveling for the good of the world; and I cannot and will not charge you anything!' This is the first instance of such hospitality which I have met with in the United States."... Isaac WALTON S home tract joined the property of his friend, Kasper MANSKER. The WALTON property, known today as the J. B. JACKSON farm, is located on Mansker's Creek near the present U.S. 41. WALTON'S home faced the old roadbed and was located on the present site of the JACKSON home. This house is remembered by many Goodlettsville residents as a spacious two-story clapboard structure, but hidden beneath the exterior boards was a log structure of a much earlier period. The front section, two rooms up and two down, was constructed of chestnut logs measuring fourteen feet long and fourteen inches square. The rooms, sixteen feet by twenty feet, were separated by a central hall which was enhanced by a solid cheery staircase. The back addition, built at a later date, was frame and contained five rooms. The house was heated by six open-hearth fireplaces and there were three stone chimneys. The exact Construction date is unknown, but it is believed to have been one of the oldest houses in Goodlettsville. The house was razed in 1968...

Isaac Walton's first marriage was in 1783 to Catherine PERRY. She died on September 6, 1824, and the following year he married his neighbor, Elizabeth MANSKER, widow of Kasper MANSKER...Isaac WALTON played a significant role in the settlement and development of Mansker's Station. His name is remembered among the leaders of the city of Goodlettsville. Sumner County, Tennessee.
