(14)  In the Spring of 1774, Captain James Herrod, a Pennsylvanian by birth, collected at the mouth of Grave Creek, now Moundville, Marshall County, West Virginia, a party of 31 young men, for the purpose of making a settlement in Kentucky. Descending the Ohio to the mouth of the Kentucky river, they thence journeyed through the wilderness to the Big Spring, now in Mercer County. Here they were engaged in the founding Herrodsburg, the oldest town in Kentucky, when they were discovered by Daniel Boone and Michael Stoner who had been sent by Lord Dunmore to warn John Floyd, Deputy Surveyor of Fincastle County,Virginia, which then included all of Kentucky,together with his assistants, then at the Falls of the Ohio, that an Indian War was begun. Harrod and party abandoned their settlement, and proceeded to Holston Valley, where he and 27 of his men joined the Fincastle Battalion, and with Christian, arrived at Point Plesant the evening after the battle -V.A.L.
