Certificate with Seal by John Darnall, clerk, that Thomas Norris "is one of his Lordships the Right Honorable the Lord Proprietory his Justices of the Peace" for Frederick County. Castle Hill, September 30, 1760. Sir: Your favor of ye 30th of August came to hand the other day. The contents thereof surprises me, I suppose, as much as Mrs. Hoops's answer did you. I shall not at present enter into the justness, or reasonableness, of the account, as I presume that is out of the question. You, I make no doubt, are sensible the money ought to have been paid by the Crown, and I should have thought your experience from the year 1755 would have convinced you that it was necessary to apply either before or at the time the Commissioners settled the accounts for the campaign of 1758, as no regard has been paid to any accounts that were not brought in before such settlements of any campaign were finished. As to your seeking justice in Virginia, I presume no Court, or jury, can be of opinion that I am to pay the debts due from the Crown which remain unpaid from the neglect of the creditors. Could I assist you I should with the greatest pleasure, but as I cannot, must leave you to take any method you may think just and most likely to recover your due. I am, your most humble servant, (Signed) Thomas Walker. Col. Thomas Cresap, the Old Town, Maryland. James Heaton's receipt to Thomas Cresap, 21st March, 1755, £3.12.0. Edmond Martin's (mark) receipt to Thomas Cresap, 21st March, 1755, £2.2.0. William Frigg's receipt to Thomas Cresap, 28th March, 1755, £2.12.0.

I do certify that sixty head of beef cattle and fifty head of sheep, bought by the contractors for the use of the forces under the command of Col. George Washington, were grazed upon the plantation of Col. Thomas Cresap, at Old Town, from the 15th of July to the 15th of September, inclusive. (Signed) Joseph Galbreath, assistant to the contractors. Fort Cumberland, September 21, 1758. Attachment against Thomas Walker, addressed to sheriff of Augusta, to answer Thomas Cresap, dated 17th February, in second year of our reign. Daniel Linn's receipt. William Ives's receipt. March 1, 1764. Van Swearinger, Sr., deposes before Joseph Smith, James Smith, Justices for Frederick County, Maryland, aged seventy years, or thereabouts: That on 25th May, 1755, the deponent attended Dr. Thomas Walker, who, he understood, was the King's commissary, with an account for wintering 20 wagon horses, which horses were sent him by Col. Thomas Cresap, who informed him that the said horses were the King's and were purchased by the Governor of Maryland of Mr. Robert Callender, and ordered by the Governor to him, the said Cresap, to have them wintered. Some time in the spring the said horses, with the wagons, which were ordered away from his house by Dr. Thomas Walker, without acquainting him at the time to whom he was to apply for the payment of his account, on which he applied to Colonel Cresap, as he had sent the horses to him, who went with the deponent to Fort Cumberland on the day and date above mentioned, where was Dr. Thomas Walker, to whom the deponent presented his account, which the said commissary perused and made no objection to any part thereof, but told him they had not cash at that time to discharge it, but that as soon as Colonel Washington came up from Virginia, by whom he expected a sum of money, he would pay the account. The deponent informed them that as he lived at a great distance, and it would put him to considerable trouble to be coming after his money, he should for the future expect his money from Colonel Cresap, who he looked upon to be liable to him for it, upon which Dr. Walker desired Colonel Cresap to pay me the money, the amount of which was £30.17.0, which sum the Colonel payed me the next day. Agreeable to his request for which I gave a receipt and never received anything for the same but from Colonel Cresap. (Signed) Van Swearingen, Sr.

                 ADVERTISEMENT.

 Philadelphia, January 31, 1756. Whereas, Application hath been made to

his Excellency, General Shirley, on behalf of the owners of the wagons, teams, carriages, horses, and other things contracted for and employed in his service under the late General Braddock; and his said Excellency, General Shirley, having given orders for the settling and discharging all such accounts as yet remain unsatisfied for the said wagons, teams, horses, etc.; and Edward Shippen, Samuel Morris, Alexander Stedman, and Samuel McCall, Jr., Esqs., being, by the directions of the. said General Shirley, commissionated and appointed to audit, adjust, and settle the said accounts in conjunction with Robert Leake, Esq., commissary to his Majesty's forces in North America; notice is hereby given that the said Robert Leake, with the said commissioners, will attend at Lancaster, from the third until the thirteenth day of February next, both inclusive, for the settling, adjusting, and discharging all accounts and demands relative to the said wagoners, horses, and other things. When and where all persons concerned are hereby required to appear with their several accounts and contracts (and their proofs and vouchers) relating to the premises, in order to have the same settled and paid by Robert Leake, commissary. Lancaster, 13th February, 1756. The said commissioners and commissary will attend at Philadelphia, where all persons are desired to come immediately who have any demands as above. (Signed) R. Leaks, commissary.

The answer given me by Mr. Hoops, to my account, pasturage of cattle in 1758, greatly surprises me. He tells me the account is out of time, the charge is exorbitant, and that he don't believe that the pasturage was had. It is very extraordinary that a man of his forbearance should be cut out of his money. As to the rate charged, it is the same paid me daily, and as to the number of cattle and, sheep charged, it is not a fourth part of what were pastured that year by me, Mr. Galbraith only signing a certificate for those last taken away, without allowing anything for what were killed the whole summer for the garrison at Fort Cumberland. As I always looked on you as a gentleman of an established good character, I cannot think you will agree to an act of injustice. Therefore hope you will order the payment of this account and prevent my giving you any trouble, that on its not being discharged I must, in justice to myself, do, and which would be very disagreeable to me. At the time the cattle were brought to my plantation, there was above 60 acres of meadow fit to mow, as good as ever scythe was put into, besides 60 acres of exceeding good pasture, and they had the full swing of the whole plantation. If I am obliged to make use of any means to right myself, which may not be agreeable to you, hope you will excuse me, as I choose rather to seek justice in Virginia than in Pennsylvania. I am, sir, your most humble servant. (Signed) Thomas Cresap.

complains that in 1753, 24th October, under Order of Council granting lands to the Loyal Company, a survey was made of 190 acres for Timothy, Col _____, in Washington County, formerly Augusta, in Rich Valley on waters of the North Fork of Holstein River. The Company gave titles upon payment of surveyors' fees and £3 for every 100 acres. Dr. Thomas Walker, now deceased, had the management of the affairs of the Company, as well as being a member, and he appointed William English his agent. Cole abandoned his land, and then in September, 1768, Joseph Scott and Stephen Trigg paid the fees on the same tract and received a receipt therefor on 16th January, 1773. Scott transferred his right to Stephen. Ross purchased from Stephen, 18th August, 1775. George Smith was then in possession. The affairs of the Loyal Company were brought before the Supreme Court, and on 3d May, 1783, the title of the Company to all lands surveyed by them prior to 1776 was established. Answer says (Fisher? Jasper?) Cox first improved the land. The name is probably Jester Cocke.

Dr. Walker was from Albemarle. See this suit for settlement of Holston and names.

July, 1798. In all respects similar to Ross vs. Smith, supra; survey was on 22d October, 1753, for Josiah Hamilton.

Michael Hoofacre deposes that in July, 1768, he came to live on the land in controversy and defended it against the incursions of the Indians at the peril of his life. When he came there was no improvement nor anything resembling an improvement but a hunter's camp.

Daniel Smith deposes at his own house in Sumner County, Tennessee, 12th March, 1804. Robert Doaek was Walker's agent before Smith, in years 1770-72. Alexander Brackenridge deposes in Bourbon County, 10th June, 1803: In 1769?1776 a certain Robert Doak said he was agent for Dr. Thos. Walker and induced Alexr. to take a part of the lands, and he, in November of same year, went there and built a cabin, and in September, 1770, he moved there. In 1772 Doak came and laid off the lands to the settlers. In 1773 settlers were advertised to meet at the house of Samuel Briggs.

Deed 25th August, 1800, by Francis Walker and Jane B., his wife, to Charles Cummin of Washington County. Recorded in District Court at Washington Court House, 3d October, 1800. Robert Breckinridge, aged 60, deposes in Montgomery County, Ky., 5th June, 1803: In 1771 or 72 he purchased a part of the Wolf Hill tract. John Davis and James Pifer depose, 1803, that they have been neighbors of Rev. Chas. Cummins near 30 years. Alexr. Breckinridge's deposition: In 1769 Robert Doke said he was agent for Dr. Thomas Walker to lay off the Wolf Hill tract. In November same year he went and chose a tract and built a cabin on it and in 1770 moved there.

September, 1805. In 1765 or 1768 Andrew Baker settled and made an improvement on land under the Loyal Company now in Grayson County. Several years afterwards he sold to Jeremiah Harrison, who also removed to and lived on the land for some time, and sold to James Mulkey, who settled and lived on the land and then sold to James Blevins, father of orator John Blevins, 1772. James then moved to the land, where he resided until his death, in 1801. In 1790 James Newel made an entry on the lands. George Reves deposes that Andrew Baker was the first settler on the land, in 1768. Copy of survey of 1,000 (4,400?) acres (known as the Peach Bottom) surveyed for Peter Jefferson, Thomas and David Meriwether, and Thos. Walker, 16th March, 1753.
