Here in June, 1818, came nearly 900 persons, a part of whom located on the Georgetown lands, the remainder on the Fincastle purchase. As a matter of course, they did not prosper. Some who were able returned to The world beyond. Others built rude huts and began clearing away the forest. What little money they had was soon spent. Scheming white men planned to get their personal property. They became involved in numerous law suits among themselves, and so from various causes they were reduced almost to pauperism. In the world beyond years their lands have been sold, so that at present but few families remain as relics of this once large settlement.
