• Vol. 1 - File No. 926.--Fowler vs. Poage's executors. Andrew Fowler complains that for his services in Braddock's war he was entitled to 400 acres on Big Sandy, in this State, for which John Poage, deceased, agreed to give him 200 acres, originally entered by George King, between the 14th and 16th mile trees, in Jennings Gap, and by King assigned to Poage, and by Poage to complainant, on 14th July, 1775. Poage obtained the 400 acres, but gave Fowler no title to the 200, but he has sold it to another, leaving Fowler to the charity of a generous Country, or the exertions of a son. Orator lost his two sons in the war. Copy of the entry--4th July, 1769--by James (George) King, 200 acres, between the 14th and 16th mile trees, in Jennings Gap. Assigned to John Poage, 22d June, 1772.
