From the "Autobiography of Asa Reece":
Valentine Reece came from Germany about the year 1750. He married Christina
Harmon (Harman). They spent the latter part of their lives on Roan Creek, now
known as the "Old Bower Place", Trade, TN. They brought up nine children, all of
whom lived to an old age. They were of the Baptist persuasion; were very pious
and were surrounded by an abundance of luxuries of life.
Note:
Trade, TN is an unincorporated community in Johnson County, Tennessee. The
easternmost community in the state, it is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, at the
headwaters of Roan Creek, approximately 7.5 miles southeast of Mountain City, on
Highway 421. Trade is approximately 17 miles from Boone, North Carolina.
Trade is the oldest community in Tennessee. It originated in the 18th century as "The
Trade Gap," a trading post established for Native Americans, pioneers, and fur traders
to buy and sell their wares. It was located on an old buffalo trail between Snake and Rich
Mountains, the easiest route through the mountains to the West. [5]
