Note: The Territory South of Ohio, more commonly called the Southwest Territory, existed from May 1790 until June 1796 when it was admitted as the state of Tennessee. Biographical note: Charles McClung was a lawyer, surveyor, soldier, and merchant. In 1788 he came to White’s Fort from Philadelphia and in 1790 married James White’s eldest daughter, Margaret. In 1791 he was commissioned by his father-in-law to make a plan for Knoxville (the new capital of the Territory South of the River Ohio). He was the first to survey the terrain, then to divide it into lots to be drawn for at a public lottery. He and William Blount were the two Knox County representatives appointed to the committee to draft the Tennessee constitution, and McClung designed the Great Seal of the State of Tennessee as part of the process of developing the constitution.
