General Abraham commanded Fort Henry at Petersburg, Va.
and sent James Needham to explore beyond the mountains
and he took an indentured servant named Gabriel Arthur
along. He was left with the Overhill Cherokee as a
hostage and was adopted as a son by a chief and was
taken hunting into Kentucky, thus becoming the first
European to travel the Wilderness Trail into Kentucky -a
year later he returned to Fort Henry -it was 20 years
before another white came again to Kentucky.
pg.

should be a foot note attributing the route having gone
over Wilson Hill and on to Rt. 667 to Peter Chance, Sr.,
Bashie Kincaide, and to the Thomas Walker Year Book of
1979-80 pg. 13, which says "The Silver Leaf Nursery
began in the early 1800's when Eli Davis grafted apple
trees for himself and his neighbors. The business was
developed by his sons James and Columbus. The story goes
hat Daniel Boone stopped to rest at a nearby spring and
called the place "Silver Maple". Mr. Davis however,
preferred "Silver Leaf' and named it accordingly." The
source listed is 'Lenowisco, Historic Homes of Lee
County.' The topo map f~r Rose Hill quad shows a "Silver
Leaf Church" on route 667 -this confirms that Boone
travelled on 667.

that they were the appointees of Slemp and that they
leaned toward the Boomers against the older property
owners.
