Hon. John SEVIER 1st Gov. of Tennessee

23 Sep 1745 - 24 Sep 1815

ID Number: I42181

Notes

"His grandfather had been a French émigré to London. His father Valentine had moved from London to Baltimore and then to the Shenandoah Valley. Sevier attended school in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He had stints in farming, trading, surveying which included laying off what would become New Market and serving as a militia officer. In 1761, Sevier married Sarah Hawkins. In 1773, Sevier and his family moved with his brothers to the Holston River in what is now Tennessee.

Not long after, Sevier served as a Captain of militia under George Washington in Lord Dunmore's War against the Indians in 1774. In 1776, he signed a petition that requested North Carolina extend its authority to over the Watauga and Holston settlements. These settlements were actually on land granted to the Indians in treaties with the British. When the petition was granted, he became a representative to the Provincial Congress and then a Lt. Colonel of militia.

Revolutionary War: 1776-1781
In July 1776, Lt. Colonel Sevier was at the siege of Fort Watauga. In 1777, he was promoted to Colonel although he did not participate in the Revolutionary War until 1780. Sometime during these years his wife Sarah died, but in 1780, he married Catherine Sherrill. In September 1780, he gathered 240 Over Mountain Men in response to threats made by Major Patrick Ferguson.

Along with other militia bands, Sevier pursued Ferguson until they caught and defeated him and his Tory force at King's Mountain.Following King's Mountain, Sevier returned to Holston and became active in fighting against the Cherokee Indians who were allied with the British. In 1781, he again went east with men to support Maj. General Nathanael Greene and Francis Marion, but whether he ever rendered the help before returning home is debatable.

After the War: 1781-1826
Following the war, Sevier became involved in starting a colony at Muscle Shoals. Back in his former home, the Hoston and its neighbor Watauga settlements were pursuing seperate statehood. In March 1785, John Sevier was elected governor of "the proclaimed" State of Franklin and used the post to promote his Muscle Shoals project. In 1788, the State of Franklin and the efforts behind it were declared illegal and Sevier's reputation became that of a political meddler and fugitive, rather than an Indian fighting hero.

In 1789 as the United States Constitution was being ratified, Sevier now emerged as a Federalist and was elected to the state senate. He was then pardoned and elected to the First Congress where he served from March 4, 1789 to March 3, 1791. He was elected the first governor of Tennessee, serving from 1796 until 1801. He was again elected governor in 1803, serving until 1809. He served in Congress from 1811 to 1815, during which he served as an Indian Commissioner. He died in a tent on September 24, 1815, while negotiating with the Creek Indians in Alabama.

From The American Genealogist Page: Wakefield, Robert S. -- Vol. 51 # 2, p. 71, April 1975: Stephen Tracy came to the Plymouth Colony in 1623 on the Anne. He was a member of the Leiden Separatist congregation and eventually returned to England. His child, Sarah, stayed in America, however, and married George Partridge in 1638. Her brother and sisters appear to have stayed in America, also. She was born in 1621 in Leyden/Leiden,Holland, so she was about four when she came over and 17 when she married George Partridge. His wife, Tryphosa Lee, has been reported in some genealogies as the sister of Bridget Lee, wife of Samuel Fuller, both passengers on the Mayflower. I have not seen documentation of that relationship to this point.
Offices he held were:
Duxbury representative on committee to lay out highways, 1 Oct 1634
Plymouth colony committee to assess taxes, 3 March 1634/5, 1 March 1635/6
Coroner's jury, 2 March 1635/6
Duxbury representative to committee on the "nearer uniting of Plymouth & those on Duxburrough side," 14 March 1635/6
grand jury, 7 March 1636/7, 2 June 1640
committee to apportion hay grounds, 20 March 1636/7
Duxbury constable, 5 March 1638/9, 4 June 1639
Arbiter, 7 September 1642.
