The British owned the land to the Mississippi River prior to the Revolutionary War. It is difficult to know exactly where the settlements were in the western part. During the French and Indian War, the Ohio Militia defeated the army of Chief Pontiac. We know people lived in Ohio. They lived in Nashville, Tennessee. They lived in Cumberland, Gap, Tennessee. There were settlements in and near the towns that George Rogers Clark captured during the Revolutionary War.

Basically, the western boundary would be in Ohio and along the Ohio River. South of the Ohio River, the boundary would have been the western face of the Allegheny Mountains. The exception would have been along the Tennessee, Cumberland, and Mississippi Rivers. The British also had a number of settlements in West Florida.
