This tract was surveyed by Colonel Martin in Oct.. 1806, and was ceded to the 

 U. S. by treaty of Feb. 27, 1819. The language of the treaty contemplated the 

 location of thisreserve heloirfhe mouth of the Hiwassee, buttheactual under- 

 standing and intention of the parties to the treaty was to locate it ahore the 

 mouth of the Hiw.issee. and it was. therefore, actually surveyed and located 

 in accordance with such understanding. A secret article of this treaty gave 

 vhis tract to Doublebead, John 1). Chi.sholni, and .lolm Riley. Colonel Mc- 

 Luug. under a grant from North Carolina, claimed and won it in the courts 

 of Tennessee. Riley, in 1838, made a claim for com]iensatiou, but the Attor- 

 ney-General derided the secret article was no part of the treaty, as it had 

 never been submitted to the .Senate for its apiiroNal. 



This purchase was made on the theory that it would be needed as a site for the 

 state capital of Tenuessei-, a conauittee from the state assembly having 

 viewed the same.
