The first settlement was made at Drake's Lick on Spencer Lick Creek near Cumberland River, 2 1/2 miles northwest of the present site of La Guardo, in 1797 by William McCLAIN and John FOSTER. Historians have differed as to the date and site of this first settlement, varying in dates ranging from 1790-1799, however, after careful research we are convinced that the date and site above quoted are correct as they are identical with those Dr. ANDERSON, author of "The Late George DONNELL", in which he quotes Mrs. McCLAIN, wife of the first settler, as the authority. In 1799 John FOSTER, William DONNELL, and Alexander BURKLEY made a settlement on Spring Creek several miles southwest of Lebanon. In the same year the county was organized at the home of John HARPOLE, where the first "county court" was held. About the same time other settlements were made in other sections of the county. The first white settlers of our county were nearly all pure Anglo-Saxon and Scotch-Irish, whose ancestors came over to Virginia and North Carolina in the time of Charles the Second and Cromwell and subsequently after the battle of Culloden in 1745. Lebanon, the county seat, was founded in 1802. Neddie JACOBS was the first settler. The first town lots of the present Lebanon were sold at auction. Among the purchasers were William BLOODWORTH, James PEACOCK, John WRIGHT, Edward MITCHELL, M. STEWART, William CRABTREE, William TRIGG, Sam HARPOLE, William GRAY, John IRVIN, J. PROVIDENCE, Peter RULE, John IMPSON, William ALLEN, and others. Tombstones marking the graves of several of the first settlers may be found near Double Island on the Cumberland River. This old cemetery marks the site where the first "camp meeting" was held in Wilson County, previous to the erection of a church of any denomination.Pg. 5 - Watertown-Charles ATKINS died Sunday midnight, after an illness of several days.
