BIRTH: Pigeon Forge was originally known as Wear's Fort.
BURIAL: E-mail on 25 Dec 1999 from [Dwear28920@cs.com] to TMason. NOTE: they were married in Blount Co., Tenn. and are buried on the Riverbend Farm which Robert received from Gov. Sevier for doing surveying of the original county. I have been to the farm and found the tombstones for the family members broken from cattle running on the property, which is now owned by the representatives of the TVA. Robert and Elizabeth's tombstones were readable as were most of the others. Their young son, Robert's stone was the most readable one of all. The last family to live on the farm in 1974 was a Great-granddaughter of Robert's, Virginia Hall. My husband's great-grandfather was Isaac Decatur Wear, who inherited most of the land on Riverbend Farm. Denver's grandfather was Talbert Bowerman Wear, who married in TN to Minnie Orten and then moved to Texas in 1891, selling his portion of the land to his brother, Robert for $800. (Land records for Loudon Co., TN.) I have a video of the graveyard I made while there in 1991. Dorothy Wear. 22 Denver Lane, Washougal, WA 98671
