[NOTES: Thomas Jones doesn't show up in the Census until 1830 (age 20-29) so likely a young neighbor helping with the survey. Found only one possible location on present day map for this land: Smith Creek which flows into Kettle Creek could be called a "South Fork" of Kettle, as it flows SW out of Kettle, down into Clay Co TN and then back up and briefly along the KY-TN state line just inside the division of Monroe and Cumberland Counties. There is a "north side of the creek in the state line". Arche already owned other lands prior to this survey.]
