They gave a desription of it to Lewis Evans, who published his first map of it as early as 1752. "In the year 1750 [*see notes in Clark, 1993], Dr. Thomas Walker, Colby Chew, Ambrose Powell and several others from the counties of Orange and Culpepper, in the state of Virginia, set out on an excursion to the Western Waters; they travelled down the Holstein river, and crossed over the Mountains into Powell's valley, thence across the Cumberland mountain at the gap [Cumberland Gap] where the road now crosses, proceeded on across what was formerly known by the name of the Wilderness until they arrived at the Hazelpatch [now northern Laurel Co.]: Here the Company divided, Dr. Walker with a part continued north until they came to the Kentucky river which they named Louisa or Levisa river: After travelling down the excessive broken or hilly margin some distance, they became dissatisfied and returned and continued up one of its branches to its head, crossed over the mountains to New River at the place called Walker's Meadows. "In the year 1754, James McBride with some others, passed down the Ohio River in canoes, and landed at the mouth of the Kentucky river, where they marked on a tree the initials of their names, and the date of the year. These men passed through the country and were the first who gave a particular account of its beauty and richness of soil to the inhabitants of the British settlements in America.

It was then called by the Indians in their language, the Dark or Bloody Grounds[.] Some difference took place between these traders and the Indians, and Finlay deemed it prudent to return to his residence in North Carolina, where he communicated his knowledge of the country to Col. Daniel Boone and others. This seems to have been one of the most important events in the history of Kentucky, as it was the exciting cause which prompted Col. Boone shortly afterwards to make his first visit to the Dark or Bloody Grounds. [[September 1, 1826][hb fagley JOHN FINLEY was in KY ABT 1753] "The report made by Columbus of his discovery of America, did not produce greater excitement in the Court of Spain, than that made by Finlay did in the people of Carolina, in the vicinity of his residence, of the discoveries he had made in the valley of the Ohio. "In consequence of the information given by Finlay, Col. Daniel Boone, in company with John Finlay, John Stewart, Joseph Holden, Jas. Monay and William Cool, set out from his residence on the Yadkin river, in North Carolina, on the 1st day of May 1769, under the direction of Finlay as their guide, and steered westwardly. After a long and fatigueing march over a mountaneous and pathless wilderness, they on the 7th day of June following, arrived on Red river, at a place recognised by Finlay, where he had formerly been whilst trading with the Indians. Here, from the top of an eminence, they first obtained a distant view of the beautiful level of Kentucky. "At this place they erected what they called their station camp, and from thence made excursions, either for the purposes of hunting or exploring the country; and where they agreed to rendezvous, in case of being at any time separated from each other."

"At this inauspicious moment, Squire Boone, (brother of Col. Daniel Boone) with one other, who had penetrated into this unexplored region in search of his brother, by mere accident, arrived at this camp. This meeting, notwithstanding the untowardness of the circumstances attending the parties, was productive of mutual joy. "A short time after the arrival of Squire Boone at the station camp of these adventurers, John Stewart was killed and scalped by a party of Indians, which so frightened the man who accompanied Squire Boone, that he immediately set out on his return to North Carolina, leaving the two Boones's without any other company. "At this camp Col. Boone and his brother erected a hut, to protect them from the inclemency of the approaching winter, and where they continued until the succeeding spring, during which time no occurrence took place worthy of notice."

Smith) in the year 1766, the following is the account given of his excursion, written by himself:-- "'In the year 1766, I heard that Sir William Johnson, the King's agent for settling affairs with the Indians, had purchased from them all the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, that lay between the Ohio and the Cherokee river; and as I knew by conversing with the Indians in their own tongue that there was a large body of rich land there, I concluded I would take a tour westward, and explore that country. "'I set out about the last of June, 1766, and went in the first place to Holstain river, and from thence I travelled westward in company with Joshua Horton, Uriah Stone, William Baker, and Jas Smith, who came from near Carlisle. There was only four [five] white men of us, and a mulatto slave about eighteen years of age, that Mr Horton had with him. We explored the country south of Kentucky, and there was no more sign of white men there then, than there is now west of the head waters of the Missouri. We also explored Cumberland and Tennessee rivers, from Stone's* river down to the Ohio. "'When we came to the mouth of Tennessee, my fellow travellers concluded that they would proceed on to the Illinois, and see some more of the land to the west:--this I would not agree to. As I had already been longer from home than what I expected, I thought my wife would be distressed, and think I was killed by the Indians; therefore I concluded that I would return home. I sent my horse with my fellow travellers to the Illinois, as it was difficult to take a horse through the mountains. My comrades gave me the greatest part of the ammunition they then had, which amounted only to half a pound of powder, and lead equivalent. Mr. Horton also lent me his mulatto boy, and I then set off through the wilderness, for Carolina. "'About eight days after I left my company at the mouth of Tennessee, on my journey eastward, I got a cane stab in my foot, which occasioned my leg to swell, and I suffered much pain. I was now in a doubtful situation--far from any of the human species, excepting black Jamie, or the savages, and I knew not when I might meet with them--my case appeared desperate, and I thought something must be done. All the surgical instruments I had, was a knife, a mockason awl, and a pair of bullit moulds; with these I determined to draw the snag from my foot, if possible. I stuck the awl in the skin, and with the knife I cut the flesh away from around the cane, and then I commanded the mulatto fellow to catch it with the bullit moulds, and pull it out, which he did. When I saw it, it seemed a shocking thing to be in any person's foot; it will therefore be supposed that I was very glad to have it out.--The black fellow attended upon me, and obeyed my directions faithfully. I ordered him to search for Indian medicine, and told him to get me a quantity of bark from the root of a lynn tree, which I made him beat on a stone, with a tomahawk, and boil it in a kettle, and with the ooze I bathed my foot and leg:--what remained when I had finished bathing, I boiled to a jelly, and made poultices thereof. As I had no rags, I made use of the green moss that grows upon logs, and wrapped it round with elm bark: by this means (simple as it may seem) the swelling and inflamation in a great measure abated. As stormy weather appeared, I ordered Jamie to make us a shelter, which he did by erecting forks and poles, and covering them over with cane tops, like a fodder house. it was but about one hundred yards from a large buffaloe road. As we were almost out of provision, I commanded Jamie to take my gun, and I went along as well as I could, concealed myself near the road, and killed a buffaloe. When this was done we jirked the lean, and fryed the tallow out of the fat meat, which we kept to stew with our jirk as we needed it. "'While I lay at this place, all the books I had to read, was a Psalm Book, and Watts upon Prayer. Whilst in this situation I composed the following verses, which I then frequently sung. Six weeks I've in this desert been, With one mulatto lad, Excepting this poor stupid slave, No company I had. In solitude I here remain, A cripple very sore, No friend or neighbour to be found, My case for to deplore. I'm far from home, far from the wife, Which in my bosom lay, Far from my children dear, which used Around me for to play. This doleful circumstance cannot My happiness prevent, While peace of conscience I enjoy, Great comfort and content. "'I continued in this place until I could walk slowly, without crutches. As I now lay near a great buffaloe road, I was afraid that the Indians might by passing that way, and discover my fire place, therefore I moved off some distance, where I remained until I killed an elk. As my foot was yet sore, I concluded that I would stay here until it was healed, lest by travelling too soon it might again be inflamed. "'In a few weeks after, I proceeded on, and in October I arrived in Carolina. I had now been eleven months in the wilderness, and during this time I neither saw bread, money, women, or spirituous liquors; and three months of which I saw none of the human species, except Jamie.'" *"Stone's River is a south branch of Cumberland, and empties into it above Nashville. We first gave it this name in our journal in May 1767, after one of my fellow travellers, Mr. Uriah Stone, and I am told that it retains the same name unto this day."

Daniel Boone with his family, accompanied by five other families set out from North Carolina, with the purpose of making a permanent settlement in Kentucky. In Powel's Valley they were joined by forty men. On the tenth of October this party were attacked by a large party of Indians; and notwithstanding the Indians were finally repulsed, Boone's party lost six men killed and had one wounded, among the slain was the eldest son of Col. Boone. "This encounter discouraged Boone and his party from prosecuting their intended journey, and they retreated forty miles to Clinch river, where the family of Boone remained until the year 1775. "By the proclamation of the King of Great Britain in the year 1763, all the officers and soldiers who had served in America either in the army or navy, were entitled to a bounty in lands for their services the quantity proportioned to their respective ranks, and to be located on any vacant land in his majesty's dominions in America. In consequence of the reputation which the lands of Kentucky had obtained generally throughout the different states at this time, those who were entitled to bounty lands, became anxious to have them located there, and therefore most of the military warrants were in this year (1773) put into hands of the surveyor of Fincastle county, which at that time included the whole of the present state of Kentucky. To hasten the surveying business, a number of deputy surveyors were commissioned by the governor of Virginia, and sent to make the surveys." "In this year (1773) Capt Thomas Bullitt with a party of men from Virginia, descended the Ohio and landed at the falls [Falls of the Ohio, near Louisville], their object was the surveying of land and making a settlement in the country. "Captain Bullitt on his way down the Ohio visited Chillicothe a shawonee town of Indians, in order to obtain the consent of the Indians to his intended settlement. He left his party on the Ohio river, and went to the town alone. He was not discovered until he entered the town, where he displayed a white flag in token of peace. The Indians astonished at this unexpected ambassador, flocked around him, and the following dialogue between him and a principle chief took place. "'Indian Chief.--What news do you bring?--are you from the Long Knife?--If you are an ambassador why did you not send a runner? Bullitt.--I have no bad news.--The Long Knives and the Redmen are at peace, and I have come among my brothers to have a friendly talk with them about settling on the other side of the Ohio. Indian Chief.--Why did you not send a runner? Bullitt.--I had no runner swifter than myself, and as I was in haste, I could not wait the return of a runner.--If you were very hungry and had killed a deer, would you send your Squaw to town to tell the news, and wait her return before you would eat?'" "This reply of Bullitt put the byestanders into high humour; they relaxed from their native gravity and laughed heartily. The Indians conducted Bullitt into the principle wigwam of the town and regaled him with venison, after which he addressed the chiefs as follows: "'Brothers--I am sent with my people whom I left on the Ohio, to settle the country on the other side of that river, as low down as the falls. We came from Virginia. I only want the country to settle and to cultivate the soil. There will be no objection to your hunting and trapping in it as heretofore, I hope you will live with us on terms of friendship.'" "To this address the principal chief made the following reply: "'Brother--You have come a hard journey through the woods and the grass. We are pleased to find that in settling in our country, your people are not to disturb us in our hunting; for we must hunt to kill meat for our women and children, and have something to buy powder and lead, and to procure blankets and other necessaries. We desire you will be strong in discharging your promises towards us, as we are determined to be very strong in advising our young men to be kind, friendly and peaceable towards you.'" "Having finished his mission, Capt. Bullett returned to his party, and with them descended the river to the falls. "On the arrival at the falls, Capt. Bullitt and his party proceeded to erect a hut or place to protect himself and men from the weather, and as a place of deposit for their stores. "Shortly after his arrival, he made some surveys in the neighbourhood, and extended his researches to a remarkable salt lick on what is now called Salt River, which was so called on account of the lick, and the lick was called Bullitt's lick after Captain Bullitt who included it in a survey made for himself." We owe a thanks to Don Cheastnut, and,of course,to the early printer of the 'KY GAZATTE" - BRADFORD. Abstracts of his early Lexington GAZETTE are in print in a 1787-1800 and 1800-1810 versions.

Everhard HUPP lived early at the mouth of 10 mile creek,where some of the SELLERS,and many others in GREENE CO PA> BRACKEN CO,KY lived. Capt Wm Harrod enlisted a company from GREENE CO PA that went with GR Clark to capture ILLINOIS 1777-78. HB FAGLEY ] [From Elisha Wallen, the Longhunter by Carolyn D. Wallin: "Elisha Walling - Elisha was born on 3-6-1760/62 in Henry County, Virginia. He married Anne ---. Children: Mary, Agnes, Winifred "Winnie", Catherine, Elizabeth, Lucy, Elisha, and William. Elisha applied for a Revolutionary War pension three different times: in the county of Claiborne, Tennessee on 11-4-1828, in Kentucky and in Warren County, Ohio in 1851. Three applications were denied for he did not serve 'in a recognized military unit.' The pension applications did give insight to his past. He enlisted at age 16 and served as an Indian spy. Elisha journeyed from the Clinch River, starting at the mouth of Stock Creek and traveled to Rye Cove Station. From Rye Cove to Rocky Station, then to Martin's Station to Powell's Valley. He served under Capt. James Gibson, under Col. Arthur Campbell's Regiment. Other soldiers were William Condry, Alexander Ritchie and William Steward. He stated that his uncle, Joseph Wallen lived on the Long Island. After the war Elisha lived at Rocky Station in Washington County, (now Lee) Virginia. In 1788 Elisha, Thomas and Stephen were taxed '1 tithe.' In 1792 and 1793, only Elisha and a Thomas (brother or father) were taxed. By 11-22-1798 Elisha and a Thomas (brother or father) were in Grainger County, Tennessee in the court records, receiving monies to take care of William Cox. (Cox may have been his father-in-law). Between the first court order to the last entry of 8-19-1801 the court appointed either Elisha or a Thomas the task to care for William Cox. In the 1799 Grainger tax list there was an Elisha Sr. and Elisha Jr. that paid taxes. The Senior may have been the "Long Hunter." An Elisha Jr. was listed as 'one white person' and exact identity was unknown. On 5-25-1807, Elisha registered a 'Deed Gift" in Claiborne County, with John Wallen as witness. For natural love and affection (he gave): to Mary Sims - one Negro girl named Charity; to Agnes Murry - a Negro boy; to Winny Davis, a Negro boy named Isom; to Lucy Wallen, a Negro girl Dice, and 1 bed and furniture; to Cathy Wallen, a Negro girl Amy, and 1 bed and furniture; to Judith Wallen, a Negro girl Beck, and 1 bed and furniture; to William Wallen, a Negro boy Harry, and 1 bed and cupboard; and to Elisha Wallen, a Negro boy Antoney, and 1 bed and desk. Elisha called William and Elisha his "little sons." This gift of love was questioned by several genealogists. This author believes that the "Gift of Love" was written by Elisha the Longhunter. Elisha the Longhunter was in Grainger County and taxed for 8 Negroes, the same number as in the "gift," and John Wallen was believed his son. The only problem was in his gift he called his sons little yet they were of age. The negative side of this problem is that there were two Elishas, therefore, they could not be of the same family. The author has found same name children in one family with the same mother, so at this point the "Gift of Love" may be of either Elisha mentioned. On 12-22-1810, Elisha give a deed of land to Mary Sims and her children. This was witnessed by John Wallen. Elisha was listed in the 1810 census of Knox County, Kentucky. On 11-6-1813 in Knox County, Kentucky and Tellico Grant #485 survey was made for Henry Rains, assignee of Elisha Wallen. The 200 acres of land was on Stoney Fork of Yellow Creek. The land was transferred to Mr. Rains on 11-6-1813, and posted on 8-6-1818. On 10-4-1814 Elisha and Anne sold land on the Cumberland River in Knox County. On 2-1-1826 Elisha received a land warrant #15842 for 50 acres on Yellow Creek, and #1453 for 50 acres, dated 2-25-1829 on "a clear fork" of the Yellow River, "next to where he lives," in Harlan County, Kentucky. In 1830, Elisha was in the Harlan County, Kentucky census. The Wallens were in Warren County, Ohio by 1850 and in the census. In 1851 Elisha attempted his third pension application. D.A.R. members found "an abandoned graveyard in Warren County, Ohio near the Clermont County line." Two headstones were found. "E. Wallen, died 1832 (sic) 1852, age 92 years;" the other headstone had the name "Anne Wallen." Carolyn, the author is very good about citing references and I will post them for anyone interested. Before Carolyn published her book, I'd written an article about the Wallen/Walling family tracing them from Massachusetts to New Jersey to Maryland to Virginia to Tennessee. Since my Mom's family was from Hancock/Claiborne County area, I as hoping to make a connection. I do connect with the Cox family mentioned but so far that's all,except that my Ray/Rheas did marry into the Murry and Davis families too. I also suspect that Rye Cove may have been Ray Cove as my Ray ancestors had a station on the Clinch River. Sorry this is so long but the Wallings are fascinating research. I've seen the Herd family name spelled Hurd. They were also an early family in the area.

I used to lurk on Fido net but never spent the time necessary to conquer it. E-mail certainly is easier. My ancestor, Lazarus Rine, and his friend, Philip Hupp, were members of Willing's group. I'm taking the liberty of sending you the information I put together on the group. If you have any criticisms or additions to the story, I'd appreciate hearing about them. I'd post this on Longhunter, but I think it may be off subject. Regards, Finley Ryan Worthington OH ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lazarus Rine, a soldier in the American Revolution 1777-1780 He enlisted in the army at Pittsburgh, PA in 1777 and was assigned to the 13th Continental Line of Virginia, the West Augusta Regiment, which was later designated the 9th Continental Line. There, in December 1777, he volunteered to be one of the 34 men selected by newly commissioned Navy Captain James Willing who had been authorized to organize a volunteer company of Marines to be drawn from the soldiers then stationed at Fort Pitt. Captain Willing was to secure and arm a large boat and proceed down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans. His mission was threefold. He was to win the assistance or force the neutrality of all the inhabitants along the river's east bank; to make a prize of all British property on the Mississippi River and finally to obtain supplies and then return to Fort Pitt with dry goods and arms for the cause. These goods were to be obtained from the Spanish who then controlled the west bank of the Mississippi and all the area around New Orleans. The Spanish were officially neutral. However, they saw no harm in helping the enemy of their old enemy and were a vital source for supplies of cloth, powder and shot. Spain eventually recognized the independence of the colonies in February 1779 and declared war on Britain. They left Fort Pitt on January 10, 1778 in an armed boat called the "Rattletrap". Recruiting more men as he went, the force grew to be over 100 men. On February 19, 1778, they reached Natchez, Louisiana where they seized several prominent pro-British residents and their property and slaves. Continuing down the Mississippi, they burned buildings, seized plate and other personal property and captured boats and ships. Along the lower Mississippi, volunteers from New Orleans cooperated with Willing's men in plundering the British. This was not a bloodless affair. On March 19, 1778, two men were killed, eight or ten wounded and fourteen were taken prisoner by a British attack on Willing's forces at Manchac, Louisiana. (1/2 mile north of Akers, LA). In April, upon the return of a party of Willing's men to Natchez, the settlers there killed five of Willing's men and the remainder of the party was captured. A letter from Lt. Governor Hamilton, the commander of the British fort at Detroit, claims that in the Natchez action one of Willing's boats was taken and thirty of Willing's men were killed or taken. Willing's force arrived in New Orleans in March? 1778 where the Spanish Governor, Galvez, gave them the freedom of the city. A public building was assigned to them for a barrack, and they were permitted to auction off their plunder, consisting mostly of Negro slaves. When he arrived in New Orleans with his booty, he had so agitated and terrorized the area that strenuous protests were made by the British against the welcome given to Willing and especially against the disposal of the plunder. The British pressured Governor Galvez to cease protecting Willing and his men and allow their capture by the British. Galvez refused to do so knowing that the best that would happen to the survivors would be confinement as prisoners of war. In doing so, Galvez put his city in serious danger of a British attack . Responding to Willing's actions, the British, who had by April sent two frigates to New Orleans to block shipping, now fortified and blockaded the upper river, thus preventing the sending upstream of supplies to the revolutionary forces or their shipment through the Gulf of Mexico. Some supplies did get through. On August 22, 1778, sixty men, commanded by Lt. Robert George and Lt. Richard Harrison from Willing's force, arrived at Kaskaskia, IL, to deliver "States Goods" to General George Rogers Clark's Illinois Regiment. (This arrival is reported in "Background to Glory", The Life of George Rogers Clark by John Bakeless but "Willing's Expedition down the Mississippi, 1778" indicates that in August 1778, Lt. George would be in New Orleans preparing to lead the Company north to Kaskaskia.) In August of 1778, Governor Galvez issued a safe-conduct pass to Lt. Robert George, now commanding the Willing force, to enable them to return north, in Spanish held territory along the west bank of the Mississippi. Willing left, in a sloop, for Philadelphia and the Marines were marched north through Opelousas and Natchitoches, Louisiana (which are located on Route 49). Then across Arkansas, arriving in the Spanish Ozarks in Missouri in February 1779. In March? 1779, forty-one men arrived in Kaskaskia, Illinois where they joined and became a part of General Clark's Illinois Regiment. On June 4, 1779, a company of Artillery was formed (at Kaskaskia?) under the command of now Captain Robert George, the former commander of Willing's Marine company which was inactivated on June 3, 1779. The Artillery company transported guns, cannon, and wagons. Lazarus Rine served in this unit from its beginning until he was discharged on October 3, 1780. The Pay Abstract of the company recites that he served for a period of 16 months and was paid 8- 1/3 dollars a month ($8.33). Total pay in dollars $143.24/72 ($143.33). (Should be $133.33?) On the Company Muster Roll, he is listed as a Corporal. On August 5, 1779, General George Rogers Clark ordered this company to the "Falls of the Ohio" (Louisville, KY) where a fort was being built. This fort became the headquarters for General Clark and the Illinois Regiment. Lazarus Rine's Pension Petition states after he received his discharge, he returned to the western part of Virginia and he never received one dollar of his pay.

I mailed in a notice that I can do lookups in the 1850 census for Greene twp; I think it was routed to Sandra Lewis, so I am duplicating it here. If I can get up the ambition I hope to copy and index later censuses as well. BTW, I have the 1820 census and can search that for anyone interested. Bob Adams, badams@texas.net

To Michael and Adams Co. researchers, My YOUNGs came from Adams Co., near West Union, where they had lived for three or more generations. My g-grandfather and grandmother, Addison YOUNG and Ella Jane (HOLLIDAY) YOUNG went to northwest KS: Norton, Rooks, and Graham Co., KS in the 1880s, living for a few years in Missouri along the way. Addison's Adams County parents were George YOUNG and Betsy McGARY, and Ella Jane's parents were Rebecca WAMSLEY and James Templin HOLLIDAY. Both the YOUNGs and McGARYs had been in Adams Co. since the early 19th century. James T. HOLLIDAY was b. in PA, and moved to Adams Co. OH as an adult (and later to KS also), but Rebecca WAMSLEY was part of the large WAMSLEY family that lived for years in Adams Co. OH. I'm sending this to the Adams Co. list also, in hopes someone there will see my post. Is anyone else researching these families? Michael, tell my who your YOUNG ancestors are, and I can look them up in my most valuable genealogy book, "Our Young Family in America," which is about my YOUNG family. YOUNG is a common name, so tell me dates and places as well as names.

Jane, Whitelaw Reid's "Ohio in the War" v.2, pp. 444-448, has a brief history of the 77th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment. James T. Holliday is indeed listed as a chaplain on the roll of the 77th Ohio Infantry Regiment's officers. His date of rank began on July 13, 1864. Holliday is mentioned as mustering out with the regiment at Columbus, Ohio, on or about March 25, 1866. The 77th OVI was organized at Marietta, Ohio, and later moved to Camp Dennison before leaving the state.

Does your book include the 77th Ohio Volunteer Infantry? One source says my g-g-grandfather, James Templin Holliday, was a chaplain in this outfit during the Civil War. He would have joined in 1863 or later, I think. J.T.H. was in Adams County at one time, and also preached at Marietta. Thank you for telling us about this book.
