Individual:
June 2 1804 - Blount Co., TN - Bound Apprentice - "Ordered that JABEL THURMAN about nine years old now be bound to Patrick Fitzgerald until he arives to the age twenty one years and sd Fitzgerald agrees to learn sd child the Taylor's trade to read wryht & cypher so far as will be sufficient to keep a tradesmans books & a horse saddle & a bridle worth one hundred & one good suit of clothes when free" Saml Handly, presiding justice.
(refer to Samuel, Isaiah and Joab Thurman for similiar proceedings involving them, makes me believe that they may be brothers). ( We do know from oral family history that Jabez had a brother named Samuel.) (Patrick Fitzgerald was also involved in the administration of the Estate of Joseph Thurman, another clue that Jabel/Jabez is the son of Joseph).
Court Minutes 1803-1804 pages 511-512
( April 2002 - I have recently discovered records showing a Patrick Fitzgerald living in Jackson Co., TN in 1806 and 1811. Is this the same Fitzgerald? Does this mean that Jabez was living in Jackson County after he was bound in 1804 in Blount County? Also living there is a Jabaz Fitzgerald. Could our Jabel have changed the spelling of his name to Jabez because of this man, possibly a brother to Patrick?

The District south of the French Broad & Holston
Located in East Tennessee. This district was formed on the bounds of the tract mentioned in the 1796 Tennessee State Constitution, Declaration of Rights, Section 31: "That the people residing south of the French Broad and Holston, between the rivers Tennessee and the Big Pigeon, are entitled to the right of pre-emption and occupancy in that tract." 45 Even mentioned in the U. S. Congressional Act of 1806: ". . . the people residing in said State, south of French Broad and Holston, and west of the Big Pigeon Rivers provided for by the Constitution of the State of Tennessee, shall be secured in their respective rights of occupancy and pre-emption. . ." [See note 2.] Most of the boundary rivers, above, have gone through name changes since 1790's. The river above Kingston but before Knoxville that was originally called the Holston, later became the Tennessee. The Big Pigeon became the Pigeon, and the then Tennessee is now the Little Tennessee. The southern line of this tract would cross over and into Cherokee lands. The dividing boundary was established in the 2 July 1791, Blount's Treaty, also called the Treaty of Holston. 46 The southern area of Blount County reached past the treaty line. It was not unusual for the county lines or even the later Surveyors' District lines to cross treaty lines, only later to be open to legal settlement. In 1797, the Hawkins' Line was surveyed. That line ran east-southeast from Kingston to Blanket Mountain, later being extended to "Megis' Post" near Clingman Dome on Iron Mountain. 47 In the Treaty of Tellico, 2 Oct 1798,48 the Cherokees ceded more land in the southwest of Blount County, south of the original Hawkin0146s Line. Here the boundaries were extended southerly and also eastward to the Chilhowie Mountain area. At the conclusion of the treaty of Tellico a tract of land in southeast Blount County still remained in Cherokee hands.
When it was formed in 1806, the boundary description of the French Broad and Holston District was unspecific, according to Whitney. Here we need to return to the Section 31 of the State Declaration of Rights. The district's southern boundary would simply be "Tennessee" or Little Tennessee. However, it seems that the District did not completely adhere to the Little Tennessee as its southern boundary. Off limits to white settlement was a tract of Cherokee land in southeast Blount County. This tract actually was to fall into the 1819 Hiwassee District. Calhoun's Treaty of 1819 extinguished all Cherokee claims north of the Hiwassee River which, of course, included any Indian lands that remained north of the Little Tennessee, in Blount County. With the use of the 1851 Hiwassee District map, TSLA #408, we can determine the boundary between this District south of the French Broad and Holston and the Hiwassee the District.
There remains little of the District';s records to help us sort out boundary line or land location. Some land grant and county records remain. One can also find an occasional article that might prove helpful. 49
The District Office was located at Sevierville. 50 There is no extant original map of the District south of the French Broad and Holston.
The 1819 East Tennessee District
The Hiwassee District
Located in southern East Tennessee. "That said tract of country be laid off into one surveyors' district, and shall be known by the name of the Hiwassee District...the Surveyor General...shall... survey the lands lately acquired by treaty from the Cherokee tribe of Indians, lying between the Hiwassee, Big Tennessee and Little Tennessee Rivers, and north of Little Tennessee..." 51 North of the Little Tennessee? This was the land in southeast Blount County that can found on various treaty boundary line maps and particularly TSLA map #408. [See note 18]
In 1833, it became lawful'to make entries...for any vacant and un-appropriated land lying in Blount County, within the Hiwassee District... "52 Additionally, we have the Calhoun's Treaty of 10 March 1819 where we find: beginning on the Tennessee River, at "...the mouth of the Hiwassee; thence along its main channel, to the first hill which closes in on said river, about two miles above Hiwassee Old Town, thence, along the ridge that divides the waters of the Hiwassee and Little Tellico, to the [Little] Tennessee River, at Tallassee; thence, along the main channel, to the junction of the Cowee and Nanteyalee: thence along the ridge in the fork of said river, to the top of the Blue Ridge; thence along Blue Ridge, to the Unicoy turnpike road; thence by a straight line, to the nearest main source of the Chestatee; thence along its main channel, to the Chatahouchee; thence to the Creek Boundary..." 53 Here the Cherokees still retain rights to a small strip of land along west side of the Blue Ridge, so when the Hiwassee District was created, its south east line would not have run to the North Carolina line.
In 1825, "another register...to be denominated the ‘Register of the Hiwassee District,' who shall keep his office at Athens, in the county of M'Minn ..." 54 Also in that year, the register of the Hiwassee District was to copy any Hiwassee District record that was in the land office at Knoxville. 55 There is no extant original extant map of the Hiwassee District, however there is a TVA redrawing of an 1851 map. (TSLA map #408)
