I am not sure where the White families lived but General Garrard lived on Ham Branch Road where Daniel Boone parkway crosses over it. This map should point this out. http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Tmap&ed=D9I2u.p_0ToOTI7Y7KspBzUXmwt njVwaZGWNjpd0C_aOe4l6y328Kcm5Pbh56DklQr17L7CQ.dll27hISw--&csz=Manchester ,+KY+40962-7502&country=us&cs=8&name=&desc=&poititle=&poi=&uz=40962&ds=n &BFKey=&BFCat=&BFClient=&mag=9&off=s I remember the salt water wells being located near the intersections of Ham Branch and Smith Road (love that name). Every time Dad had a well drilled, he would hit salt water, which did not make him very happy. My Grandfather "Woodson Smith" bought the land West of Ham branch and Betty Eddy's relatives owned the land East of Ham Branch "Paces Creek". Calvin Smith Louisville, Ky. PS.
