While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
The commissioners agree that the following tracts of land shall be reserved to the Chickasaw nation:
1. One tract of land for the use of Col. George Colbert and heirs, and which is thus described by said Colbert: “Beginning
on the north bank of the Tennessee river, at a point that, running north four miles, will include a big spring, about half way between his ferry and the mouth of Cypress, it being a spring that a large cow-path crosses its branch near where a cypress tree is cut down; thence westwardly to a point, four miles from the Tennessee river, and standing due north of a point on the north bank of the river, three [four] miles below his ferry on the
Tennessee river, and up the meanders of said river to the beginning point.”
2. A tract of land two miles square on the north bank of 'the Tennessee river, and at its junction with Beach creek, for the use of Appassan Tubby and heirs.
3. A tract of land one mile square, on the north side of the Tennessee river, for the use of John M'Cleish and heirs, the said tract to be so run as to include the said
M'Cleish's settlement and improvements on the north side of Buffalo creek.
4. Two tracts of land, containing forty acres each, on the south side of the Tennessee river, and about two and a half miles below the Cotton Gin port, on the Tombigby River, which tracts of land will be pointed out by Major Levi Colbert, and for the use of said Colbert and heirs.
It is stipulated that the above reservations shall
appertain to the Chickasaw nation only so long as they shall be occupied, cultivated, or used, by the present proprietors or heirs and in the event of all or either of said tracts of land, so reserved, being abandoned by the present proprietors or heirs, each tract or tracts of land, so abandoned, shall revert to the United States as a portion of that territory ceded by the second article of this treaty.
