My brother Paul's widow married a man of the name of Anderson brother to sister Ann's husband but of another stamp they tell me… I live at this time in Blount County 15 miles from father But have bought land in Knox County within 3 miles of Knoxville and am to move to it soon… I live as poor or poorer than any of my kindred though I beleave about as happy as any of them. One cross after another still comes my way…I beleave I have been married now near 5 years & have wrought hard both myself & wife & I think we have not as much property now as then… as to our country I think it is good but the good country is where a man has a good peace of land & health & good fortune (if it is proper to say so.) I however will describe some of our country to you first to begin where I live it is a very hantsome part as level as I would wish for some miles round I live 6 miles from Holston river & between me & the river there is a row of river Knobs about the size of mountains then it is about ten miles to the mountain in the other side to Tennessee river is from me 16 miles of a pretty country the land is mostly high lands of a tolerable Quality. Very well watered in general limestone Litle River lying above me about 6 miles is counted very good land it is a pretty stream… the river Knobs fall into the grassy valley I cannot give it as great a recommendation as some do but some parts of it are pretty it is in general well watered and affords some very good land & some very ppor.. but to take the country in general it is a hilly broken Country But not so much as to hurt it any great deal… But in common where there is a good peace of Botom on any of the Rivers there is a row of Hills round it too high to work some very steep & high where I have bought I must build in the bottom on the Hills is too steep & high then betwixt my home & the sun rise within four rods of my house will be a clift as high as a 3 story house which will however shade the morning sun from of our heads… for mills they are plenty & sites for them plentier our markets at this time is good for all… I do not know whether you have heard … of the disturbances in our country about Religion our preachers are nearly like so many peddlers trying to make the most the can in the world the most hording member of the Presbytery published a new creed in which 3 of the members of Presbytery Broke of & have declared Independent having a body of their own…" [sic]
