From "Annals of Bath County, Virginia", pg. 16:


The last day in March, 1746, the date falling on Monday, the surveyors returned to the Cowpasture, and below Coffey they laid off parcels for Joseph Watson, Andrew Muldrock, and William Daugherty. On the first of "Aprile," they continued down the river to the vicinity of Griffith Knob, surveying for John Walker, James Mayse, and Robert Crockett. Meanwhile a detachment of the surveying party was at work far above, laying off selections for James Scott, John McCreery, William Gillespie, William Lewis, James Jackson, James Simpson, William Black, Robert Abercrombie, Thomas Gillespie, Thomas Fitzpatrick, Hugh Edwards, William Warwick, and James Hall. The surveys already mentioned took in nearly all the choice morsels of Cowpasture bottom that lie within the present limits of Bath and also the more desirable land on Stuart's Creek.
