John Dougherty is shown upon the list of those who or spent some time at HarVodsburg, during some portion 6f the 'yew of 1775, after March 11th, which was the, date of the first arrival and occupancy of the cabins built in 1774 and which was at least 20 days before Col. Daniel Boone's company reached the Kentucky River and laid the foundations of BooneBboro. Fourteen of them raised corn, within a few miles of Harrodsburg (Collins Vol, 2, P.

519.) This 'same list contains James Brown, Wiliam Crow and William Fields. The last was' also among those at (Harrod) between Dec. 16, 1777 and Oct. 16, 1778. (Same, page 674.) Dougherty's certificate is dated Nov.

14, 1779. He claimed to have raised a crop of corn in 1776, at his station. John Cowan contested his title, on behalf of David Cowan (David heir at law up in the field which is between the titled "Locust Thicket." (See Dougherty vs. William Crow, Hughes Ky. Reports, page 42 et.) Collins says "Dougherty's Station in Boyle County, on Clark's Run, VA miles below Danville." (Vol.

2, P. 18). Actually we know, from Uncle John Yeager, old inhabitant and lord of the. towered chateau that rises above the Run, a great deal more about this station. This ven erable citizen, whose faculties are remarkably preserved, has shown Us over the whole terrain.

The station was near the Lancaster pike bridge of the creek. Here, south side of present road, Logan's Creek falls into Clark's Run. About 100 feet from the pike crossing, and upon Logan's east bank is the half filled hole that marks the site of Dougherty's mill. The traces of the race are clearly defined. The mill was an overshot and ground grain.

Honest Dougherty made food for the neighborhood while the early Yeager ran a still nd flat boated whiskey as far as New Orleans. (No report of leakage experienced en roiite.) The Station seems to have been located about 150 yards up Logan's. Bits of pot-tery, china and other evidence, of an old house site are still ploughed up in the field which is between the Yeager lane nnd the creek. Bull Spring lies just below it, and feeds Logan's. This famed fountain whose waters, whether-neat or blended, have so long quenched the thirst of humanity, was once gravely considered by our City Father as a source of supply for the town.

Bull Spring was unquestionably the main dependence of the Station. Here it is well to remember that no settlement could long exist without a "livinir" spring. That wa essential, while proximity to stream wa desirable. The latter furnished the source of power by which crop could be processed, either dry or liquid measure. Later there must have been more than one family at the station for Collins says that James Allen emigrated to Kentucky in the fall of 1780.

and settled at Dougherty's Station. (Vol. 2. page 35.) John Allen, his. son, wa just eight year old then; so.

doubtless, thin brilliant lawyer and martyr of the River Raisin, spent four years of HI boyhood upon the banks of kClark' Run. (Allen County is named for Col. John.) Dougherty's wa upon the Wilderness Trail which came into the present Lancaster pike about the bridge. The trail is still clcarlv marked as it binds upon the north side of Mr. Yeairer's vard.

Which Is possibly enough of Dougherty'. Stephen Fisher's Garrison Here Collins gives the following definite Information: "Fisher'a (Stephen) Garrison, not fr from Danville" (Collins. P. Histor. Ian Collin makes no further reference to what was likely pan German treek Into now eastern Boyle County.
