    Notes:

    Serving the Union Army during the Civil War, David Crockett Maples enlisted 18 October 1863 at Sevierville, Tennessee in Company H, 9th Tennessee Cavalry. He was discharged on 8 June 1865. His personal description at that time was: 6' 3" in height, fair complexion, blue eyes and light hair.

    From the pension file of David Crockett Maples, an affidavit by William R. King in 1893 tells the story how David Crockett Maples lost his feet. It is quoted in the exact words of William R. King..."Said Maples was badly frostbitten in the winter 18??. Said Maples undertook to carry a man from his home to the top of the Alleghany or Smoky Mountains, and the snow was very deep, and the
    weather very cold. The snow was so deep that it was very difficult for him to travel. Said Maples went on, tried to comply with his promise in carrying the man accross the mountain and the snow was so deep that his strength failed. He became so exhausted that he could not get back to his home or any place of shelter. He crawled into a hollow log and lay overnight where he was very much exposed, and from said exposure he was badly frozen so much so that both of his feet had to be amputated. His feet were amputated on the 21st day of January 1877 caused from being frozen."

    He made and fitted artificial boots..strapped them to his legs and wore them till his death. This has been told by numerous descendants, and is a true mountain legend.

    Notes:

    Shucky moved with the family to Sevier County, Tennessee as early as 1805, soon after the death of his father.

    Isaac was one of the first settlers in Gatlinburg. No land records prior to 1824 were found for Isaac Ogle but it is shown by Richard Reagan's early grants that Isaac and William, his brother, entered land adjoining Richard's land on Mill Creek. This ran from Mill Creek down to "the lane" (Reagan Lane) and nearly to the old river road. Later records show this land as belonging to Isaac alone and still later to his son, Elijah Ogle. Isaac also entered land near the road from the Glades, running down to the mouth of Roaring Fork Creek in Gatlinburg. As his sons and daughters became of age, he gave them these lands and he moved to the Banner area north of Gatlinburg.

    Isaac and his wife, Susannah, were charter members of the White Oak Flats Baptist Church. The family appears in the Sevier County, Tennessee Federal Census records, 1830 to 1880. Isaac died 2 Sep 1881 according to the Death Register of 1881 found in Sevier County Courthouse.
