The Campbells and Couches came from the same part of that state. In 1806 a large number of families in that region thought lxxxvi. Dorothy Liftig

full of determination to accomplish the mission on which they were sent, they started on foot to explore the new Eldorado. They came though Pound Gap, and striking the headwaters of the Kentucky River, they followed the North Fork to Boonesborough, thence to Lexington and returned the same route, reaching home the same season. They reported “A Land of Plenty”. They said there was everything to eat but nothing to wear. It was a land flowing with milk and honey. The streams abounded in fish, the woods were full of deer, bear, turkey, buffalo and elk. Filled with the flaming report , my grandfather (John Campbell) and his family, his brother William Campbell and his family, started the following spring.

They were large families, they started for Lexington but stopped at Campbell’s Bend on the North Fork of the Kentucky River, in what is now Perry County. They found four acres of land cleared at that point and concluded to make a crop and remain over a year. My grandfather (John Campbell) bought nine horses, his brother (William Campbell) ten, they bought their cattle also, some were sick on the way and this was one of the reasons for stopping.When Spring came again his family or some of them wee sick and it was two years before they got rid of their chills. When they had gotten well they felt so well and were charmed with the rich soil and luxriant can brakes and the abundance of game, they lost the desire to go farther.

In North Carolina, they had put manure in the furro to raise corn and then the frost would cut it rare, ripe, a diminutive corn was all they could raise. The great ears of corn that grew on their rich bottoms was sufficient to meet the expectation awakened by the glowing descriptions of Messers, Couch and Francis, they put all they had into clothes.
