The 16th at 7 o’clock in the morning we crossed the boundary line between Pennsylvania and Virginia. The line is marked by cutting down the trees on a width of about ... feet on the right and left of the Ohio or Belle Rivière and this place is 45 miles from Pittsbourgh. In the evening of the same day arrived at Buffalo Creek. _79 Miles from Pittsburgh._ The 17th passed by Willing [Wheeling] 92 Miles from Pittsburgh;[15] this place is inhabited by about 12 families as is also Buffalo Creek [Wellsburg]. Owing to the contrary wind we traveled only 30 Miles. Sunday August 18th 1793, saw several flocks of wild Turkeys; wind contrary. The 19th we made _50 Miles_. There are no settlements between Willing and Marietta, a small Town situate at the mouth of the Muskingum river.

The houses are all built of squared logs merely notched at the ends instead of being Mortised (Log-house).[19] The 24th remained over, visited doctor Petit who inspired me with the greatest respect by his good sense, his knowledge and his virtue. It seemed to me that humanity is the only thing that keeps him attached to that unfortunate colony.[20] Out of the 600 persons who came there to settle, only about 150 remain. Sunday the 25th started from Galliapolis; at a distance of 35 Miles recognized _Iresine celosioides_ on the banks of the belle rivière where they are submerged by the great inundations.
