P. 152, Deposition of Abraham Simpson (taken at house of James Cockrill at Cross Plains (now Athens), Fayette County, Kentucky, on April 17, 1815): Thomas Franks, son of Robert Franks, deceased, will be 25 years of age on 10th of May or June Next. Robert Franks deceased put George Sharp in possession of land before making his will. Robert Frank had built a saw mill and hemp mill on Hoffman’s fork of Boone’s creek and ran it two or three years before his death. (Boone's Creek is the same as Bowman Creek - name was changed to Boone after Edward Boone was killed there. After that people used both Bowman and Boone Creek as the name.) Contributed by David Brown
At sale Francis Simpson and John Frank were the purchasers. They left the land, when it was found the administrator had no right to sell same, because the mill seat belonged to George Sharp. There was (another) sale of mill seat and hemp mill and John Laughlin was purchaser.
