It seems very likely that Capt. Adair's Company was located in the Powell Valley area of Anderson County that is now in, for example, Claiborne County. I do not believe that James or Elizabeth Peters were related to Tobias Peters or Henry Peters Sr. Rather, I think they were probably related to Tunis Peters. |

It seems likely that John and James Underwood were brothers, sons of William Underwood from Capt. Underwood's company (see below). However, that would mean that James was listed in two different militia companies. |

William Underwood was the son of my sixth great grandparents John Underwood and Margaret Jackman. As such, William was the brother of my fifth great grandfather John Underwood and also the brother of my fifth great grandfather Thomas Underwood. John, Thomas, and their brother George moved from North Carolina to Sevier County, Tennessee. William moved from North Carolina to Anderson County, Tennessee. James Underwood was the son of the aforementioned William and his wife Susanah Kirby. |

Capt. Oliver's company appears to have included men who lived in the Scarbrough and Robertsville communities. John England and Austin Choate were living in what later became Dist. 8. The Peters and the Scarbroughs were living in what later became Dist. 9. I do not know if I am descended from Austin Choate or not. John England's wife was Vesta Zipporah (Zipporah) Choate. Her parents are not known for sure. She might have been the sister or the daughter of Austin Choate. In fact, my best guess is that she was the daughter of Christopher Choate and that Austin Choate was her brother. The Wyats are possible relatives of my fifth great grandmother Mary Wiatte who married Henry Peters Sr. |
