NICHOLAS MASSENGILL SR (b/1797),  from VA.

According to verbal history the top of the mountain above Caryville
TN.,  all the way to Nicks Creek on New River belonged to the
Massengale family, and the main horsepath and mail route from Caryville,
into New River(Highhouse PO), followed the top of the mountain into
Nicks Creek; And Nicks Creek was named after Nicholus Massengale
(unknown) the first settler there.
According to information, this old road was closed down after the 
Railroad from Oneida was run up to Clinchmore; And a new road
from Caryville was run to Clinchmore, and beyond(About 1913).
