• Goff vs. Fisher--O. S. 9; N. S. 3--Isaac Booth deposes March, 1803, in West Augusta, that John and Saliel Goff were the first to improve the land of Thomas Parsons on Cheat River, now generally known as Sim's Bottom & formerly called Cearl's bottom. James Goff, son of John Goff. John improved the land in 1773 & John & Saliel improved it in 1774. Robert Cunningham had a patent from Randolph. Robert formerly lived on the South Branch below the Gap & joined lands with his brother, William Cunningham, and married Prudence Parsons, sister to Thomas Parsons. William Parsons was son to Thomas. Witnesses speak of "South Branch" in Hardy County, just below the Gap, generally called the Gap of Sim's Creek. Robert Cunningham deposes Hardy Co. 4th October, 1800. He, 1770, lived in Horseshoe Bottom on Cheat River, where he made improvement on Big Yough, then called the Right Hand Fork, about one mile from Parson's cabin at the head of the Glades. He sold the land to Goff upwards of 20 years ago.
