Notes for Johnathon Fine:
Jonathan Fine, son of Peter Fine, helped organize Rhea County in 1807. As a
homesteader, he had 300 acres on the bank of Piney River. He was Justice of
the Peace from 1813 to 1829, and served in the 10th Tennessee General Assembly 1813-1815. In 1829, he left for Missouri on his way to California, where he was a minister and a rancher.

The following article appeared in the STAR newspaper of Johnson County,
Missouri, probably shortly after June 4, 1933: The FineFamily Played Important Part in Early History of County ........... by J. L. Ferguson

The following is taken from the article as written by Miss Laura Woodruff and
Frank Woodruff and read by the latter at the blackwater Memorial services
June 4, 1933.

The original home of Jonathan Fine was Cocke County,
Tenn., in the Eastern part of the state. A sister of Jonathan Fine married John T. Kendrick,(wrong name believed to be Edom Kendrick Jr.) who were the ancestors of the Kendrick family
of Knob Noster. In recent years J. Mont Kendrick has visited in Cocke
County,Tennessee, and found there the old Fine home still used as a
dwelling place. The house is typical of its period, a rectangular
structure, beautiful in its simplicity and having the huge chimneys at
each end, adding beauty as well as utility. When Jonathan Fine and
his wife Hannah R., came to Missouri and settled in the neighborhood of
this Blackwater church
( about 1828 or 29 ), there were ten children: Recter, Abram, Baldwin,
David, Quinn, Narcissa, Claricy, Holt and Mary, twins, and Elizabeth
Jane, or rather Betsy Jane as she was always called. The mother of this
family of ten, Hannah Recter Fine, died in 1830 when Betsy Jane, the
youngest, was seven, just a few years after the family came from
Tennessee. There was no cemetery when she died and her grave is not in
the cemetery proper but just outside.
Gave Land For Church Of course, Jonathan Fine was
one of the pioneers of this Blackwater community. He was a farmer and a
Methodist preacher. he soon saw to it that there was a church for the
community through which the spiritual life might be developed and no
doubt to provide a pulpit for himself. He gave the land, a part of his
farm, as a site for a church and the adjoining cemetery. This church, as
we have it through traditions of the family was of logs built by men of
the community with one door and a section of one log sawed out to provide
a window but without glass.The building served as a schoolhouse as well
as a church. There was a fireplace in one end and huge logs to feed the
fire were across the floor. Betsy Jane Fine, Mary Anna Cockrell ( sister
of Senator Cockrell ) and Mary Murray were three little chums who sat on
the puncheon seats burning their faces before the fire as they received
instructions in the three R's taught by Zachary Davis, the grandfather of
Dr. J. I. Anderson. Jonathan Fine lived in the community until
1849 when he joined the Forty-Niners and moved to California. He died at
the house of his son, Abram, in Santa Rosa in 1864.

Notes for Peter Fine:
Colonel John Sevier attacked a party of Indians on Indian Creek in the summer of 1781. The place was near the County Line, on the farm of William Phillips. Seventeen Indians were killed. Peter, John and Vinett participated in this battle. (This battleground was pointed out to W.R. Fine by his father, Isaac, son of Vinett.) In the spring of 1783 Colonel William Lillard and Major Peter Fine raised a company of thirty men and crossed the mountains to the Overhill Town of Cowee and burned it because from this town had originated the aggressions upon the Big Pigeon and French Broad Rivers. Captain John and his brother Vinett fine were members of the company. Such action antagonized the indians who in the winter of 1783 began to steal horses and cattle from the Big Pigeon settlements.

Major Peter Fine and Captain John McNabb raised a company of men and followed the Indians across the mountains into North Carolina where they killed one Indian and wounded another, but recovered the stolen horses. The Indians fired upon them, killing Vinett Fine and wounding thomas Holland ;and a man by the name of Bingham. Because there was no time for grave digging and apparently no safety in trying to escape with the body, the ice in the creek was broken and the body placed there. Before the men could return for it the creek became flooded by a sudden change in temperature and the body was washed away and never recovered. To this day the creek is known as Fines creek.

In 1787 A petiton addressed to the General Assembly by governor John Sevier and signed by Daniel Leming and Peter Fine to create a seperate State and provide protection from indians. These settlements had so far been protected by Colonel William Lillard, Lt. Colonel Abraham McKay, Major Peter Fine and Capt. John McNabb members of the Primitive Baptist Church.

On Oct. 19, 1812 by act of the General Assy. Peter Fine was appointed as commissioner of Newport.
Peter Fine was later appointed as Chairman of the county Court.
Peter Fine was the first man to be given a license to run a ferry, which was the one at War Ford where Newport is now located. Peter Fine also had a ferry on the French Broad at Old Newport. It was later called the Cureton Ferry.

May 8, 1790 Peter Fine was appointed deacon of the old Butler Church.
