"For seventeen years after the act of 1793, the river was crossed by ford or ferry only, the ferry being owned and attended by Thomas and Robert Hogg. The first bridge was built in 1810, by Andrew Porter, grandfather of W. W. Trimble ; a second was built in 1817, at the same place ; a third, still, at the same point, was built in 1835, or 1837, by Greenup Remington, and this, after forty-seven years' service, bids fair to last an indefinite period longer." ^[7]
