Article from J.W. Dorton in the Crossville Times 05/26/1887 (this article is not in the archives, but I have a copy of it.
Back in the early days 2 travelers were crosssing the mountain in the vicinity of these 2 streams. They were quarrelling violently and treating each other with that disrespect charisteric of long continued marrige.
As they reached the bank of the 1st mentioned stream, both dismounted. As the horses were watering, the husband, whose patience seemed to be worn out, seized his loving partner tenderly by the nap of the neck and administrated to her a sound cuffing. He then named the stream Daddys Creek in honer of this event.
They thin continued the journey, still slinging adjectives and invisible frying pans and broomsticks at ech other. The second stream was reached, where they again dismounted so the horses could drink.
While standing on the bank of the stream, the old lady picked up a large tree limb and dealt her loyal consort a rattling blow to the head that streached him out, and triumphantly named the stream Mammy’s Creek. If they were traveling west I can understand how this happened. Mammys Creek is East of Daddys Creek by several miles!!
Feel free to do likewise if you are a traveling couple.
Cache is a small container similar to an altoids can
