Lina and Powell Daugherty had a daughter named Surrelda who md Mode Burress, some of Mode and Surrelda's children stated that Lina was full Cherokee Indian from Smokey Creek. Evidently she was one of the descendents of the Smokey Creek Squaw woman, widow of Cherokee Smokey an Indian and first settler of Smokey Creek who died in a battle with Grand Mickey Lowe, first white settler who claimed Smokey with a Land Grant. The settlers provided for the Cherokee Squaw, she had several children who intermarried with the settlers. Cherokee Smokey was banished from his tribe in NC; Smokey Creek was named after him.

Moad settled at Clinchmore and served most of his life as constable sheriff; Dist #6, Campbell County. Moad gained many friends among the church people, however he was hated by the moonshiners. In the 40's and 50's Moad traveled in a huge army jeep, most of the time with Hawk Lowe, they both wore badges and holster pistols almost everywhere they went. During Moad's time the Clinchmore and Beech Fork Community was filled with many people, jammed in the coal company houses, from Caryville Mt, to Shea; Most of these old houses are today torn down, only a few exist, none are at Clinchmore, except the old church, meetings are still held there today. Jobs of hard labor were found in the mines, timber woods, sawmills and County road crews. Very few people owned a car, just about everyone walked or rode horses. Large crowds of moonshine drinkers, would gather in public places, Moad and Houk would arrest almost everyone who was guilty of public drunkness, and would haul them off to Jacksboro Jail.
