    “Edward Hall and sons came to Estill County to Sugar Loaf Mountain or Sprout Springs. The land they had was covered with maple trees and a good place to make maple sugar. In the early 1830, Edward Hall and sons James and Martin bought timber land on Nolands Creek in Estill County.”
    
    Just beyond Sugar Loaf Mt. is Grassy Knob. The closest village to Sugar Loaf Mountain is Kimbrell. Kimbrell is located between Sprout Springs and Hargett. With Iron Mount and Cressy above (north) of Hargett. I would go with the area of w[h]ere Twin Creek runs; Cressy and Iron Mound are nearby. ...
