"The Killing of Charles Asher.— Col. Joseph C. Shull has among his papers grant No. 841 to Charles Asher to 300 acres of land in the county of Washington, on both sides of the Watauga River, dated the 11nth day of July. 1788. Charles Asher located land at what was afterwards and still is known as Shull's Mills in Watauga County, North Carolina, after having married one of the daughters of Samuel Hix, the Tory who settled first at Valle Crucis and afterwards hid out at the Lybrook place near Banner's Elk.
His son, Charles Asher Jr., was surprised in his new log cabin in what is now Colonel Shull's orchard, by Joseph White's men soon after the close of the Revolutionary War. Asher ran, but was shot and killed, his body falling where it was buried, near Colonel Shull's cow barn in the meadow in front of his residence." —A History of Watauga County, North Carolina By John Preston Arthur
