    "Barefoot Runyan, Revolutionary soldier, witnessed the will of his neighbor,
    Marshall Lovelady, in 1792. Barefoot Runyan's land was located between lands
    belonging to John Moore on the north and John Fryer on the south. The present
    Old Mill is on the site of a 151 acre grant to Mordecia Lewis; his land joined
    the land of Isaac Runyan, son of Barefoot, and the land of Richard Fanshire.
    The plat shows a road to Lewis Mill". [Reunion at the River, Homecoming 1986,
    Pigeon Forge, Tennessee - September 13, 1986, author Beulah D.Lynn (current
    Sevier County Historican)]. Isaac as son of Barefoot is believed in error.
    Barefoot Runyan was granted 168 acres of land on the West Fork of the Little
    Pigeon River on 27 July 1808 No 332, surveyed 27 Jan 1807. Survey plot shows
    Mill Creek in plat.Isaac Runyan was granted 151 acres on the Pigeon River on 5

    line on the North. Isaac's grant was under the Act of Assembly on Nov. 23,
    1809.

He later served two months in Captain Arbuckle's company against the Indians at Point Plesant, but the dates of this service are unknown. He was granted a pension for this war [Revolutionary] service in 1832. Mitchell Porter was a devout Methodist, and Bishop Asbury tells in his journals of stopping at the Porter home in 1802, 1808, and 1810. It is noteworthy that all deceased persons in this direct line back to the revolutionary War soldier are buried in Shiloh Cemetery in Sevier County, Tennessee.
