"An affluent merchant who operated a flatboat on the Hiwassee and Tennessee Rivers, he was also an enslaver and leader in tribal politics.

In the late 1800s, Georgetown was an active trading center featuring several gristmills, tanneries, and sawmills.

Goods arrived in nearby Cleveland via the Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia Railroad and were transported by wagon to the village.
