George Washington

Near here at the David Reed home, Washington met Sept. 20, 1784, with 13 Covenanter squatters on his tract of 2613 acres. Failure to fix terms of purchase forced him to bring suit at Washington to eject the illegal tenants.

Marker is at the intersection of Southview Road and Baker Road, on the right when traveling north on Southview Road.
