[typescript; transcription] "Memoir of Indian Wars and Other Occurrences by the Late Colonel Stuart, of Greenbrier, Presented to the Virginia Historical and Philosophical Society by Charles A. Stuart, of Augusta, Son of the Narrator." The memoir starts with the date of 1749, tells of the discovery of Greenbrier River, and the early residents, Jacob Marlin and Stephen Sewell, who built a cabin there. After a disagreement, Sewell moved out of the cabin and into a hollow tree. Colonel John Stuart, exploring the country in 1751, became entangled in a bunch of green briers on the river and so the river was named Greenbrier. The memoir also describes Indian attacks, much of the suffering and hardship of the early settlers, and life during the War for Independence from England., undated
