We Crossed French Creek close creek by the town I thoug[ht]
it was as large as three of Brandywine,
in 2 or more miles we turned to our right
leaving the main road that leads to
Casawaga

, La Boeuf, and Preaque isle to our left,
we had stones with a rough country for
a while, in places very poor, in about
12 miles we crossed a rich bottom on a
small stream, here was plenty of pasture, being
the first we had seen in the Woods since
we left home, from thence to Oyl Creek
through level Rich land, 6 miles, here
we met with an house, being the second
we have seen since we left franklin,
here we and took up our horses quarters, and
after feeding our horses with some Corn
turned them for the first time into the
Open Woods, there being plenty of Grass
and other luxuriant growths. This is the
most desirable place that I have seen for
many miles back, a fine fertile bottom on the Creek
with plenty of level plough land adjoining, which
appeared good, a large stream of Water
not far of, and a noble Spring Just by the
door large enough to turn a Mill, yet it is not
known that there is any limestone in this neigh
