In 1779, John Buchanan Sr. migrated with his family from <a href="/wiki/Cumberland_County,_Pennsylvania" title="Cumberland County, Pennsylvania">Cumberland County, Pennsylvania</a>, to North Carolina. He first went to the "over-mountain" area of <a href="/wiki/Virginia" title="Virginia">Virginia</a> (modern day eastern Kentucky) in order to leave the party's women and small children in a secure area. The settlers then headed down the Cumberland River and, in early 1779, built a fortified station at French Lick. </p><p>In February 1779, <a href="/wiki/Overmountain_Men" title="Overmountain Men">Overmountain</a> leader <a href="/wiki/James_Robertson_(explorer)" title="James Robertson (explorer)">James Robertson</a> set out with a nine-man exploration party to the same area. Robertson had been a member of the <a href="/wiki/War_of_the_Regulation" class="mw-redirect" title="War of the Regulation">Regulator Movement</a>, as well as a founding leader of the <a href="/wiki/Watauga_Association" title="Watauga Association">Watauga settlement</a>. A 3,000 acre (12 km<sup>2</sup>) land grant was negotiated with <a href="/wiki/Richard_Henderson_(jurist)" title="Richard Henderson (jurist)">Richard Henderson</a>, a North Carolina land speculator, and arrangements were made for the movement of the group's families to the area. The colonists agreed to pay Henderson 26 pounds of silver per hundred acres, which was then considered an expensive price (equal to approximately $6.20/acre). Robertson charged three of his men to stay behind and plant corn in preparation for the arrival of the much larger group, which had remained behind in the <a href="/wiki/Washington_District,_North_Carolina" title="Washington District, North Carolina">Washington District</a>. </p><p>Robertson then journeyed to the <a href="/wiki/Illinois_Country" title="Illinois Country">Illinois Country</a> (an area claimed by Virginia at the time) to meet with General <a href="/wiki/George_Rogers_Clark" title="George Rogers Clark">George Rogers Clark</a> (a land agent of <a href="/wiki/Virginia" title="Virginia">Virginia</a>), who was dispensing "<a href="/wiki/Cabin_rights" class="mw-redirect" title="Cabin rights">cabin rights</a>" on very favorable terms. Robertson, whose 1772 Watauga settlement had originally been opposed to the control of the area by the <a href="/wiki/Province_of_North_Carolina" title="Province of North Carolina">Province of North Carolina</a>, thought it possible that the yet-to-be established extended border between the Virginia and North Carolina frontiers might throw control of any new Cumberland River settlement to Virginia. Therefore, he wished to get secure and clear land titles to eliminate any future complications over ownership.

Robertson's brothers, Mark and John, were in the party, as well as his oldest son, 11-year-old Jonathan, who drove the sheep.

Ice, snow and cold had set in and the frozen river made progress impossible. There was no further movement until mid-February, and when the boats were eventually cut loose, they were hampered again by the swell of the river due to incessant heavy rains. Donelson's group also suffered greatly from Dragging Canoe's promise of vengeance. On their way to French Lick they had to pass the Chickamauga towns on the westward flow of the Tennessee River. When the Donelson party had succeeded in that, however, and made the turn to the north (in what is today <a href="/wiki/Hardin_County,_Tennessee" title="Hardin County, Tennessee">Hardin County, Tennessee</a>), the natives attacked them as they went past the Tennessee River's "Big Bend" (at <a href="/wiki/Cerro_Gordo,_Tennessee" title="Cerro Gordo, Tennessee">Cerro Gordo</a>).

Weary, hungry and low on provisions, they were confronted by new difficulties. Their boats, having been constructed to float downstream, were scarcely able to ascend the rapid current of the Ohio, which due to heavy spring rains was particularly high and fast. They were also ignorant of the distance yet to be traveled, and the length of time which would be required to reach their final destination. Some of the company decided to abandon the journey to French Lick. A part of them floated down the <a href="/wiki/Ohio_River" title="Ohio River">Ohio</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mississippi_River" title="Mississippi River">Mississippi Rivers</a> to <a href="/wiki/Natchez,_Mississippi" title="Natchez, Mississippi">Natchez</a>, the rest settling at points in Illinois along the Ohio. </p><p>The others, however, were determined to pursue their course up the Ohio from Paducah to the mouth of the Cumberland River, a distance which turned out to be only fifteen miles (24 km). Upon seeing it, they were unsure it was the Cumberland, because it seemed very much smaller in volume than they had expected to find. However, they had heard of no stream flowing into the Ohio between the Tennessee and Cumberland, and, therefore, decided to make the ascent. They were soon assured by the widening channel that they were correct in their conjectures. In order to make progress upstream, Donelson rigged his boat, the <i>Adventure</i>, with a small sail made out of a sheet. To prevent ill effects from any sudden gust of wind, a man was stationed at each lower corner of this sail with instructions to loosen it when the breeze became too strong.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The new History Center is a more inclusive representation of the past, and includes a plaza dedicated to Native American history.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fort_Nashborough&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Chickamauga_wars" class="mw-redirect" title="Chickamauga wars">Chickamauga wars</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Transylvania_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Transylvania Company">Transylvania Company</a>, Richard Henderson's land grant vehicle</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Washington_District_Regiment" title="Washington District Regiment">Washington District Regiment</a> of the North Carolina militia</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mansker%27s_Station" title="Mansker's Station">Mansker's Station</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Haysborough,_Tennessee" title="Haysborough, Tennessee">Haysborough, Tennessee</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Timeline_of_Nashville,_Tennessee" title="Timeline of Nashville, Tennessee">Timeline of Nashville, Tennessee</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fort_Nashborough&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Notes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-9"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-9">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">The settlers had come that way because Donelson and Robertson had mistakenly assumed the Cumberland River to be a tributary of the Tennessee River.
