The claimant in this case states (on oath) that he had two places, the one containing 13 acres cleared land lay on the Hightower River, and the other on Pine Log, neither of which was ever valued to his knowledge, and that he was forced away from home and forced to come to this country in Bells detachment & now lives on Spring Creek.
The horses charged in this account he supposes were stolen as he lost them out of their common range, and was never able to hear from them. The cows & calves went in the same way. The rifle was taken by the soldiers.
