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.
