crossed Rowland's Ford just below Fontaine, followed the Old Road, deep cuts showing it's location,
up Marrowbone Valley crossing the creek west of where Ridgeway now stands,
thence along the ridge 2 miles, then crossing Matrimony creek half a mile to the state line,
only one mile from the Marrowbone home of Old Rusty Hairston to the National Highway is now used for public road.
