Friday the 27th of October 1848 As usual we proceeded traveling over very rough road, some so rough that we could not travel more than 17 miles in a day. We reached Mr. "Savergum?" quite late and putting up for the night and was much delighted with his family. Especially his daughter who sang and played most delightfully on the piano. Saturday the 28th of October 1848 After breakfasting and taking leave of Mr. Savergum and family who we left with great reluctance and proceeded crossing through Mt. Washington, a village in Bullet Co. We then took the pike leading to Beardstown. Could not travel, the dirt road as we expected on account of our horse being sinewed, so we could not work him. We reached Beardstown about 3 o'clock, from thence crossing down the Reach River about a mile from town, from thence 5 miles to what is called the "Six Mile House", from Beardstown kept by Mr. "Ball or Bull", an old Virginian. Sunday the 29th of October 1848 As usual we proceeded on our journey passing through New Haven, when the Catholics where holding a big meeting, from thence crossing the bridges over "Whigfork" of the Salt River, from thence 14 miles where we put up for the night with "Dr. Luskey", whose wife was on a visit to her relations and he being left alone, invited us to stay with him. As he was quite lonely then invitation was accepted, and we were kindly entertained. Monday the 30th of October 1848 After breakfasting we proceeded 12 miles, stopped dined, and again proceeded crossing the bridge over Green River, _____ Co. From thence on to Mr. Brinks who kept tavern. A very kind and hospitable family, as little Florence has taken sick that night. Even the lady was very attentive. Tuesday the 31st of October 1848 We proceeded on our journey although Florence was quite unwell. Traveled 12 miles, stopped prepared something for her to eat and again proceeded 14 miles, where we put up for the night with Mr." Shole", an old Virginian, who had married a KY lady who was very kind and hospitable.
