I just thought that you might be interested in this book called "Tribes that Slumber"
by Thomas Lewis and Madeline Kneberg. Inside the front flap maps the indian locations known on the Tennessee River to the Cumberland in the Middle Tn. area. Of course some of the places were years before your time frame of your family floating by. But one of the places noted was Stewart County Burial site, which was located on the banks of the Tennessee where the Big Sandy River comes into the Tennessee ( current location near the Bridge on Hwy 70/79 that crosses the river just at Paris Landing Park. Your family must have floated by these indians.

Absalom Baker & Michael Leggit have permission to pass through the Cherokee
nation to Franklin County in Georgia. Jan 9 1803

Thomas Jones & Endimon Baker having charge of six large flat bottomed boats l
aden with Salt & Iron have permission to pass down the River Tennessee River
on their way to the mouth of Cumberland River . . . 26 January 1803

I believe that Endimon Baker is my Edmund Baker whom I believe is the son of
this Absalom Baker. This is the same Absalom who is the father/grand father
of John Armstrong Baker.

THANK YOU !
