Notes:	Charlotte Reeves Robertson (1751-1843) was the wife of James Robertson. She was a member of the first large group of settlers to arrive in Middle TN. She traveled on the Donelson flotilla while her husband led men overland with the animals to the site that is now Nashville. Her son, Felix Robertson is the first recorded white child born in the area.
