Notes

In 1794 an Indian attack on William Crowson, his son Aaron, and Peter Percifield resulted in the death of Peter Percifield, the first burial in Crowson-Broyles Cemetery.

Bill Crowson states that the attack was on Aaron and Peter, only; not his father.

William moved from Wears Cove to Giles County, Tennessee.
