(transcript) The depo[sition] of Simon Kenton of full age taken [cross out] at the house of Hugh Power in the County of Adams and the State of Ohio, on the 17th day of August 1811 and to be used in evidence in the suit in Chancery depending in the Mason Circuit Court in which John Williams is Comp[lainant] and John Kerchival is Def[endant] the parties being present John Kerchival personally & John Williams by his atto[rney] being sworn says that he came to the State of Kentucky in the year 1775 and soon after his arrival he became acquainted with the leading roads then traveled by Buffalo and Indians and with their several crossing places on the North fork of the Licking, & so continued to the settlements then formed. The deponent further says that in the year 1780, he made an entry for John Williams of 985 acres, which calls to lye about one & a half miles on the east side of the Buffalo road leading from the lower blue licks to the head of Lawrencess Creek, the deponent further says that the road which led from the lower blue licks to the head of Lawrencess Creek cross'd at the North fork of Licking a little above the mouth of the Creek then and now called Lees Creek and the depo[nent] thinks [in?] sight of the mouth of Lees Creek on the East side of the road & near to its edge stood a large black oak tree where the deponent in the year 1780 began an entry he made for John Marshall of 14717 acres. Questn. The entry in the name of Williams calls for another road above the leading to the head of Lawrences Creek and describes it as being a road leading towards Limestone. Where did this last menchond [sic] road cross the North fork of the Licking? Ans. That road crossed the North fork of Licking near to & within a few yards of the mouth of Joseph Berrys lane as it stood forty years ago. But this last road was not a leading road at all - yet it was a plain road where it crossed the creek so as to be noticed by any person passing.
