Marshall Lovelady, in 1792. Barefoot Runyan's land was located between lands
belonging to John Moore on the north and John Fryer on the south. The present
Old Mill is on the site of a 151 acre grant to Mordecia Lewis; his land joined
the land of Isaac Runyan, son of Barefoot, and the land of Richard Fanshire.
The plat shows a road to Lewis Mill". [Reunion at the River, Homecoming 1986,
Pigeon Forge, Tennessee - September 13, 1986, author Beulah D.Lynn (current
