John Sevier was one of the Overmountain Men who defeated LTC Patrick Ferguson and his Loyalists at Kings Mountain in October 1780. That defeat, followed by the crushing of Tarleton's forces at Cowpens the following January would help cripple Cornwallis' Southern Campaign.
John Sevier was born in the Shenandoah Valley and moved into what is now Eastern Tennessee in 1773. He was a community leader who fought in numerous Indian Campaigns as well as the Patriot forces in the Revolution. He would go on to become the first (and 3rd) governor of Tennessee.
Sevier County in East Tennessee was named for him. Locust Ridge, TN is where Dolly Parton is from & Pigeon Forge, TN is home to her theme park, Dollywood.
It's all yours!
