No his body was never found

The Watauga people refer to a group of early settlers in the Watauga Valley, located in present-day northeastern Tennessee and southwestern Virginia, during the 18th century. They were primarily of European descent, including English and Scots-Irish immigrants, and played a key role in westward expansion in the Appalachian region. The Watauga Association, formed in 1772, is notable for establishing a form of self-government and influenced the later development of Tennessee. Their interactions with Indigenous peoples in the area, particularly the Cherokee, were significant during this period.

The first permanent settlement was made in 1769 in the Watauga River valley of East Tennessee, with a name unknown. But, the oldest town in Tennessee is Jonesboro, which was founded two years after that first permanent settlement was made. I would answer with Jonesboro.
North Holston, in the Watauga River Valley, was the first post-explorer settlement in Tennessee. The area was settled in 1769, by Virginians, soon followed by settlers from North Carolina.
Watauga Association ended in 1775.
