Note 77 — Chapter XIII

Dillon’s Bottom is nearly opposite Moundsville. Just beyond, at the bend which Cuming mentions, was situated Round Bottom, which Colonel Crawford surveyed for Washington, in 1771. Cresap made a tomahawk claim to the same land, and there was a long litigation over the matter, which was not finally adjusted until 1839, when the suit was decided in favor of Washington’s claim. See Washington’s Works (Ford ed., New York, 1889), iii, pp. 392, 408.—Ed.
