Henderson’s Station
About 1 mi. N., now the village of Afton, Anthony Moore settled on Sinking Creek in 1778; his daughter was the first white child born hereabouts. Daniel Kennedy came in 1779, fought at King’s Mountain and was Greene County’s first court clerk. A fort for protection of settlers, later Henderson’s Mill, was nearby.
Marker is at the intersection of Andrew Johnson Highway (U.S. 321) and Ripley Island Road, on the right when traveling east on Andrew Johnson Highway.
