According to an order of the Cumberland Circuit Court
April Fourth 1844. Mary Hopkins Plaintiff and Betsy
Keeton, Defendent, I proceeded on the 10th of October 1844
in company with Ewen Keeton, who produced a plan(?)
cut in the name of John Crawford for 100 acres, bearing
date the 5th day of January 1815, surveyed October 21st 1806
to lay off the land in displute, in the following manner
viz: I commenced 20 poles due north from the beginning
corner of a Hopkins' 400 acre survey, no corner stand-
ing, but said to be the beginning corner of said survey;
thence N. 42 degrees W 100 poles to an elm. From this line 60
poles to an elm which down and said by William
Ketchen, who was one of the original chainmen, to be the
corner. The tree is somewhat decayed, but I think I distin-
ctly saw axe marks on it; thence
N. 81 degrees W. 45 poles to a beech, not found,
the land being cleared; thence N. 60 degrees
W. 84 poles to a white walnut, which
is down and partly decayed, I sup-
posed it to be the corner in asmuch
as my course and distance took me
to it, the balance of the lines I platted
by the consent of Keeton. The solid lines
represent the Crawford 100 acre survey,
and the dotted lines Arthur Hopkins 400
acres. The triangle A. F. G., is 28 acres contained
in Hopkins' Patent [] represents Keeton's house.
