Taken from the Web site of Joseph Eugene Conley - "Abiud Fairchild, George Blair, and John Hitchcock Sr. built a fort at the mouth of Big Mud Lick Creek at what would be known as Staffordsville, Ky. Abiud had an "Indian dog" and he would go around the vicinity of their encampment every morning to check for Indians. George originally held a tract of land which would be known as the Stafford farm which encompassed the south east quarter of Paintsville, Ky. He traded this farm for a vast tract of land at Jennies Creek, Ky. which is the home of many Blairs to this day.
"When Mary set out for Kentucky, she sold all her feather pillows and her feather mattress. She bought a flock of geese. Her family thought she would never make it from North Carolina with a flock of geese but Abiud had a hunting dog which herded the flock all the way to Johnson County (Floyd County at the time). Mary also brought bean seeds with her from North Carolina which were under great demand when they reach the new country."
