Notes

George Washington surveyed Barnaby McHenry's Farm, June 4, 1750. In the survey of Bernard's farm, it says adjacent J. Collins. On the same day George Washington surveyed Jake Collins farm. Both on Lost Creek. A short time later Washington surveyed Andrew Viney's farm. All of the surveys on Lost River for about a year were done by Washington. He knew more than one of our ancestors, probably most of them in Hampshire. Samual McHenry helped Carry the Chain for the Viney and Baker families or at least one of them, who lived next door.
