Davidson Cemetery
Goodspeed - Morgan County, Tennessee
...The house known as the "Indian Tavern" is said to have been built by William DAVIDSON,
who came to the county about 1810. He had served in the Revolutionary war as captain of a
company of North Carolina militia, and was one of the early settlers of Buncombe County.
He was a friend of the Cherokees, could speak their language, and his house became a sort
of resort for them, hence its name. As he did not own the land upon which the house was built,
he soon removed to land which he entered about one mile south of Kesmet.
