Veteran of American Revolutionary WarEidson, Tennessee
The town of Eidson is located in Hawkins county, Tennessee, about 15 miles north of Rogersville on highway 70. This is approximately 10 miles south of the Virginia state line. It is on the north side of Clinch Mountain in an area known in the early 19th. century as War Gap (just off the Wilderness Road blazed by Daniel Boone in 1775).Eidson was settled by Creighton Eidson, son of Joseph in Richmond county, Virginia, and grandson to Edward and Penelope Eidson.
All that remains today of the Eidson community is the post office (zip code 37731), the shambles of the Eidson High School (on Eidson property donated for the school), two Eidson homes in poor repair with the slaves quarters adjacent to one, two Eidson cemeteries, and a few other old homes. Much of the property is now owned by a mining company.
The early Eidson residents were in the livestock business, buying, selling, trading horses, and mules.
Creighton Eidson was killed by a blow or blows to the head the 21st. of May 1826 at the home of his son-in-law George Myers. The state of Tennessee filed murder charges against Myers and set his bail bond at $6,000. He, and his brother Jacob were finally acquitted for lack of evidence.
