"Died in his residence in Roane County on the third instant, James Dearmond, aged upwards of 60 years. He was an ardent friend, a firm and unyielding Republican, and a devoted patriot, of which he gave many proofs through the whole course of his life but especially in the war with the Cherokees waged upon the first settlers of this country. In those perilous times when the helpless female and tender infant had no shield to defend them from savage barbarity save the bosom of the soldier, the deceased was one of their most bold and intrepid defenders. He accompanied the celebrated Governor Sevier in nearly all his campaigns against the Indians, frequently acted as a spy, and was always exposed to imminent danger, in consequence of which he became almost proverbial for his personal activity and bravery. And his last efforts in defense of his country were in the late war with the Creek Indians, where he also distinguished himself. He has left a large family, most of whom are females, together with many relatives and friends to mourn their hapless lot."
