George Washington's Diaries Volume IV : 1784-June 1786 pp Washington, George,--1732-1799--Diaries, pg 45-49

pg 46 The little Yohiogany from Braddocks road {at the Little Crossing] to the Falls [of the Youghiogheny River) below the Turkey foot, or 3 forks, may, in the opinion of Friend, who is a great Hunter, & well acquainted with all the Waters, as well as hills, having lived in that Country and followed no other occupation for nine years, be made navigable and this, were it not for the reason just assigned, being within 22 Miles of Fort Cumberland, would open a very important door to the trade of that Country.

He is also of opinion that a very good road may be had from the Dunkers bottom to the No. Branch of Potomack, at or near where McCullochs path crosses it; and that the distance will not exceed 22 Miles, to pass by his house, i.e. 10 to the No. Branch, & 12 to the Dunkers bottom-half of which (10 or 11 Miles) will go through the glades, & white oak. ridges which seperate them.

There will be an intervention of two hills in this road-the back bone near the [North] Branch and the Briery Mountain near the (Dunkard's] Bottom, both of which may be easily passed in the lowest parts by judicious slants, Be these with some Causeys in the richest &: deepest parts of the glades will enable a common team to draw twenty hundred with ease from one place to the other.

pg 46 From Friends I passed by a spring (distant 3 Miles) called Archy's, from a Man of that name, crossed the backbone &: descended into Ryans glade Thence by Jo;seph Logston's &.McCulloch's ford of the No. Branch, to old Mr. Thos. Logs1on's (the father of Joseph). The way &: distances as follow-to the foot of the back bone, about 5 Miles of very good ground for a road; being partly glady, and partly \Vhite Oak ridges-across the ridge to Ryans glade one Mile and half bad, the hill being steep & in places stony-to Joseph Logston's 1 1/2 Miles very good going-to the No. Branch at McCullochs path 2 Miles-infamous road and to Thos. Logstons 4 more, partly pretty good, &: in places very bad. But it has been observed before to what fortuitous circumstances the paths of this Country owe their being, & how much the ways may be better chosen by a proper investigation of it; & the distances from place to place reduced. This appeard evident from my own observation and from young Logston, who makes hunting his chief employment; and according to his own Acct. is acquainted with every hill & rivulet between the North Branch&: the Dunkers bottom.

pg 47 He agrees precisely with Charles Friend respecting the Nature of the road between the North Branch and the Dunkers bottom: but insists upon it that the distance will not exceed 20 Miles Be that Friends ought to be left two Miles to the Westward. This may acct. for their difference of opinion; the latter wanting his House to be introduced as a stage and here it may be well to observe, that however knowing these people are, their accts. are to be received with great caution-compared with each other and these again with one's own observatns.; as private views are as prevalent in this, as any other Counrry; and are particularly exemplified in the artide of Roads; which (where they have been marked) seem calculated more to promote individual interest, than the public good. ....

pg 48 I could obtain no good Acct. ol the Navigation of the No. Branch between McCulloch's crossing and Wills's Creek (or Fort Cumbcrland) • Indeed there were scarce any person, of whom enquiries could be made, for, from Lemon's to old Logs­ton's, there is only Friend & young Logs­ton living on the track I came and none on it for near 20 Miles below him-but in general I could gather from them, especially from Joseph Logston, who has (he says) hunted along the water course of the river that there is no fall in it-that from Fort Cumberland to the Mouth of Savage river The water being good is frequently made use of in its present State with Canoes and from thence upward, is only rapid in places with loose Rocks which can readily be removed.

pg 49 Charles Friend, a squatter on a 5,025-acre glades tract called Small Meadows, live d about 1 1/2 miles southwest of present-day Oakland, Md. He had previously dwelt at three other locations in the Youghiogheny valley. About 1765 he and several brothers settled near present-day Friendsville, Md. Later he moved to the Turkey Foot settlement in Pennsylvania and then to Bulfalo Marsh near present-day McHenry, Md., his last stop before coming to Small Meadows. Friend remained at Small Meadows until some­time in the 1790s when he went west, possibly to Missouri (Friend, 62; WESTERN MD., 192, n.4) ^[4]
