HISTORICAL SKETCHES OF SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA PUBLICATION 4 - 1968 FRONTIER FORTS By Emory L. Hamilton The Seven Original Forts Carter's Fort Further westward in the Rye Cove of Scott County stood Carter's Fort, supposedly built by the Carter brothers, Joseph, Thomas, and Norris. Most early historians place the date of this fort around 1786, but it can be proven by Revolutionary war pension claims that this date is at least a decade too late.

James Elkins says in his pension statement filed in Clarke County, Kentucky in 1832, that he served at Carter's Station in the Rye Cove in the latter part of the summer of 1777, under Captain William Bowen. His statement is no doubt correct for Lt. William Bowen is shown to have been in the Rye Cove, both in 1776 and 1777, according to early military records.

How many years prior to 1777 this fort existed is not known, but the Carter brothers were very early settlers in the Rye Cove with land entries in old Fincastle County in 1774. Since this was the most westward fort in Scott County and openly exposed to Indian forays it is reasonable to think that the early settlers of Rye Cove would have had a fort for their protection at a very early date. This was undoubtably a palisaded fort and it stood close along the old "Hunter's Trace" passing through Scott County.
