Research Note:. From the Simon Kenton Papers, this is the interview in 1860 of Caleb Wells regarding frontier events from 1764 to 1794. "The neighborhood in which we lived on Ten Mile was composed mostly of Germans They were mostly an industrious people, cautious of strnagers; my uncle, however, were old settlers, & Robert had a great influence . . . [Character of Monongahela Settlers]
with them; they consulted him in all their difficulties, & this perhaps served to introduce us, & give them confidence sooner in us. We found them indeed very friendly. They knew ??? cared nothing about politics. They were moved and attended regularly on the Sabbath at pubic worship. The meetings were usually held at Wises where they generally brought a bag of grain, & after sermon took one of meal home; they likewise brought leather & then articles & saved numerous ???ds which otherwise would occupy much of their time within the week. The minister made horn combs and it was said he severally had his packets full to sell on these occasions. It is probably they were previously bespoke."

4,6 * * * * * *. SETTLERS PUSH WEST
Regardless of the formalities, hardy settlers pushed on over the Appalachian ridges; by 1770 the town of Pittsburgh had twenty log houses, and a small village had appeared on the site of Wheeling. In 1769 another colony was settled on the Watauga River by immigrants from southwestern Virginia, soon joined by settlers from North Carolina. The Watauga colony turned out to be within the limits of North Carolina, but so far removed from other settlements that it became virtually a separate republic under the Watauga Compact of 1772; North Carolina took it into the new district of Washington in 1776.
Another opening came south of the Ohio River into the dark and bloody ground of Kentucky, which had been something of a neutral hunting preserve shared by the northern and southern tribes. The Shawnees, who lived north of the Ohio, still claimed rights there despite the Iroquois and Cherokee concessions. In 1774 conflicts on the northwestern frontier of Virginia erupted into full-scale battles that forced the Shawnees to surrender their claims. Judge Richard Hendeson of North Carolina formed a plan to settle the area. He organized the Transylvania Company in 1774, and in 1775 bought from the Chrokees a dubious title to the land between the Kentucky and Cumberland Rivers. Next he sent out a band of men under the most famous frontiersman of all, Daniel Boone, to cut the Wilderness Road from the upper Holston River via the Cumberland Gap in southwestern Virginia on up to the Kentucky River. Along this road settlers moved up to Boonesborough, and Henderson set about organizing a government for his colony of Transylvania. But his claim was weak. Transylvania sent a delegation ot the Continental Congress, which refused to receive it, and in 1776 Virginia responded to a petition from the Harrodsburg settlers and organized much of present Kentucky into a county of Virginia. He lived in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1773.
