History

A small portion of the city extends into Jefferson County. The record further details the fact that Gideon lived on the 400 acre (1.6 km²) tract of land until his death, and the inference that he was buried in the Morris family graveyard ends the record. Today it consists of a single acre (4,000 m²) enclosed by a fence of iron, and has a simple sign affixed to its gate with nothing more than 'Morris' on the plate. Morristown is a city in and the county seat of Hamblen County, Tennessee County, Tennessee, United States. It is recorded in Goodspeed's "History of Tennessee" that Gideon, along with an unspecified number of his siblings, arrived in the area of present-day Morristown from the Watauga Association Settlement, a short-lived semi-autonomous settlement located in East Tennessee Tennessee that was originally leased from the resident Cherokee tribes during the 1770s.
