Set out in the morning and
rode 13 miles to breakfast at a
Dutch Tavern where the Landlady
looked rather Sluttish and was not
able to furnish us with a Tea cup &
Sauces apiece. thence over Laurel Hill din’d at Basslers
Tavern 14 miles further and proceeded
on over Chesnut Ridge, a lofty moun-
tain from whose Summit we first had
a view of the Western Country on
the North side of the mountains, which
appear’d to be an extensive plain, inter-
spers’d with small Hilles & beautiful
Valleys that afforded a gratifying
prospect. ariv’d at Connels
Vill. in the evening, a little Village
on the Margin of the yochigeny
River, where we were kindly receiv’d
by our antient Friend, Thomas Gibson
and his Wife who mov’d from Chester
County in the early settlement of
Redstone.
