Notes

Same land as Moleston Pettyjohn's (Grant B, 1799-1825 Line Creek Land Grants).

Drury lived on Line Creek from at least 1806 until 1822, when he left for Indiana. On today's maps, the branch of Line Creek where he lived is called the Elkhorn Branch, but I believe that is not the original name. In 1822 when John McKinney had land surveyed in Rockcastle County, the description said it was on the "Elkins Branch" of Line Creek. I thought this was a mistake until I realized who had lived on the other end of the creek--Drury Elkins. The name must have been corrupted over the years from Elkins to Elkhorn.
