A treaty was made with the Chickasaw Indians in July, 1805, by which they
ceded their claim to all lands north of Duck River, and east of the
Nachez road as far as the ridge that divides the waters of Elk from those
of Buffalo. This line passed through Giles County entering it near the
northwest corner, crossing the Lawrenceburg road at the eight mile post,
passed four or live miles West of Pulaski, crossed Elk River about three
miles above Prospect and the State line at Phillips' mill, leaving
considerable portion of the western and southwestern part of the county
in the Chickasaw territory.
Probably the that white men to penetrate and explore the forests and
canebrakes of Giles County were the commissioners and their guard of
citizens, who were sent to lay off a district fifty fly, ties wide in the
