From: History and Genealogies of The Families of Miller, Woods,
Harris, Wallace, Maupin, Oldham, Kavanaguh and Brown: By W. H.
Miller. " p. 171.
William Cradlebough, a noted scout, woodsman and indian fighter
went the same route,
Cradlebough was an unusually hardy, brave and adventurous spirit
and well acquainted from Boonsborough to the Middle Fork of the
Kentucky, and up the latter deep into the country seldom trodden
by white men, and was one of the earliest pioneers, and who with
Brooks and
Calloway, (Thomas Brooks and John Calloway) in 1780 had hunted
and encamped for days and days, up the Middle Fork, and made and
named Rock Back Encampment, Williams Creek, Cabin Creek were
named by them, and Martin got much information from Cradlebough
of the woods, the Little Picture Lick, and other Licks, the War
Road and other traces, and of indian habits.
In Nov. or Dec. 1780, Cradlebough, Thomas Brooks and John
Calloway,hunted and spied into the wilds of the Middle Fork and
camped several days at a place on the south side of said fork,
nearly opposite where one McWillard was living in 1805, and at
this place they made a canoe in which they paddled up and down
the river, and they cut on a beech tree the first or initial
letters of their names: W. C. 1780, and J. C. and which they
named Rock Back Encampment, and then about four miles above on
the south side of the river at a Buffalo Lick on a branch near
the mouth they marked "Brooks 1780," and F. C ." they camped in
a bottom about four miles above the mouth of the creek, that
they named Williams Creek because William Cradlebough whilst out
hunting first found it, and here they encamped and cut down
several trees, and cut on a tree the letters W. C. B. (but in
1805 this was called upper Twins) and on a creek they built a
cabin and called the creek Cabin Creek. (which in 1805 was
called Lower Twins.) At this place in an oak and beech they cut
out cutlets, and their initial letters, which marks were there
in 1805, the place is about three quarters of a mile up from the
mouth of the creek.
When this party of three left Estill Station on this hunt they
no doubt went the trace that led by Azariah Martins place, and
the Little Picture Lick.
***In 1805 James McCormick and WILLIAM BRYANT were commissioned
by the Court to take depositions to perpetuate testimony and
with William Cradlebough went to Rock Back Encampment, and there
commenced the taking of the deposition of Cradlebough, and
adjournment from one to another of the Encampments of
Cradlebough, Brooks and Calloway of 1780 made twenty five years
prior thereto, and found the facts as Cradlebough had described
to them two years previous, which their depositions and
statements prove.
James McCormick then being on the Middle Fork, made this
statement in writing:
In the fall of 1798 James Trabue applied to him to survey for
him on the Middle Fork of the Kentucky, and furnished him with
several entries, one calling for a Buffalo Lick at the mouth of
a small creek on the north side with a tree marked thus "Brooks
1780" which tree and lick he saw the same fall and the marks
that were on the tree appeared to be very old or old enough to
have been marked at the same date. There were several entries
that called for another encampment, called the Rock Back
Encampment which by the direction of William Cradlebough he
found at the same time with W. C. 1780, and J. C. 1780, cut on a
small beech tree, which mark also appeared old enough for that
date which Rock and Tree William Cradlebough this day swore to
in his presence, also the bottom he surveyed for Daniel Trabue,
with the trees fell down, was so well described by William
Cradlebough, and the course of the river that he verily believed
it to be the same bottom, notwithstanding the trees were rotted
and gone, and being present with him in search of the bottom
Aug. 12, 1805. James McCormick."

Notably, the connections abroad and within the county that
allowed these hegemonies did not automatically pass from father
to son as land and personalty did, but shifted from one
planter-merchant to another. We will return to the point.
Suffice it here to note that Beverley had fallen heir to the
connections of John Burnham, a major planter-merchant of the
1670s who died in 1681. When Beverley died in 1687, Robinson's
area of influence grew. When Robinson died in 1693, Churchill's
influence spread from the lower precinct into the middle, while
Gawin Corgin--Henry Corbin's son, now grown to manhood, with
extensive relations both in Middlesex and England--entered the
scene to take Robinson's place on the Rappahannock side of the
county from the Essex boundary to just below Sunderland Creek.
And when Willis died in 1701, Corbin's and Churchill's influence
swelled to fill the vacuum. Willis was much married but
childless; his lands went to a nephew, John Alden, but Alden
never assumed the merchant role of his uncle.
