Two and one-half miles west stands the two-story brick tavern finished in 1821 by Fredrick DeVault. It served as a stage coach stop on the eastern route from Abingdon, VA., to Nashville. This route ran from through Bloutville, Jonesboro, Greeneville, Newport, Dandridge, to Knoxville. The original bar remains unchanged in the building today.

Example

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
