Emory Hamilton said Rocky Station was on the old Kentucky Trace between Woodway and Dryden in the vicinity of Litton Dairy farm in Powell Valley and remained open during the dangerous days of the Revolutionary War when the Indians, aided and abetted by British agents lived among them and incited them to slaughter innocent women children along the western frontier. He said it was garrisoned by a company of Rangers who patrolled Powell Valley and watched the war paths from the Cherokee and Shawnee nations especially Cumberland Gap which pass was used by both nations. He stated that Col Charles Cocke assumed command of this station in l780 (and I have penciled in until l782). Wash. Co.
