Petition of 1799 to the House of Representatives
SUMNER COUNTY, TENNESSEE was created in 1786 from Davidson County and
the boundaries were described as "the line of division began where the
county line crosses the west fork of Stone's River; thence, a direct line
to the luth of Drake's Lick Creek; thence, down Cumberland River to the
mouth of Kasper's Creek; thence up said creek to the head of the War Trace
Fork; thence, a northwardly course to the Virginia line at a point that will
leave Red River Old Station one mile to the east. That part of Davidson
County that lay east of this line, was to belong to Sumner County [ref.
Ramsay's Annals of TN].
