-------------------------------------------------------------
(No date given.)Survey on Wappacomo, South Branch of Potomoc. Surveys numbered by Lord Fairfax from 1-66 (beginning at source and numbering toward the
Potomac) were held at some time by the following: #16 Job Pearsol; #20
CORNELIUS HOAGLAND; #23 John Forman & RICHARD HOUGLAND; #25
William Foreman & Benamin Foreman; #26 William & John Foreman;
#27 URIAH BLUE & RICHARD BLUE; #30 Welton & Blue; #32 John Wright,
George Washington & R.M. Marsh; #46 John Ross, Thomas Lawson;
#49----MCGUIRE; #64 Job Pearsoll. Source: Sage & Jones p 63.
(Comment: Most of the lots had names. I extracted only those which
were meaningful from documents--also relatives such as McGuire.
This survey list of people was different than the 1782 census list.
So the 1782 census list must be Patterson Creek people.)

Don't forget this part:
PALMER HISTORY, an unpublished 7 paged history of that township, by
Lydia Palmer,1881, of Browns Mills, Wash Co OH, pg 6: "In the early
days, the Hougland family had suffered severely by the Indians in their
raids in the valley of VA. An Uncle of Cornelius gave his entire time to the services of the Commonwealth of VA for the protection of their
homes. . . He was twice taken by the Indians, tomahawked, scalped and
left for dead, but recovered again, and joined once more in the service.
He was taken prisoner the third time, and was then taken to one of their
towns in Indiana, stuck full of pine faggots and burnt at the stake. The place was visited by ELZA, LEWIS & DAVID HOUGLAND, when they went
west."
(That visit possibly abt 1828. Elza was 21, Lewis was 16, and David was 14 in 1828. Their father, Cornelius died 1818. Their mother died in 1824.)
