The crown grant given below was signed by Francis Fauquier, and was issued on a survey lying on a "draft of New Found Land Creek" (Bullpasture River). Like all crown deeds of that day it is printed on parchment.

Note: "Free and common soccage" was when land was held through certain and honorable service, as by fealty to the King and the payment of a nominal sum of money. The tenant "in capite" held his title immediately from the king, as in the case of nobles and knights. The feast of St. Michael is September 29, and in a liberal sense it refers to the fall of the year.

It is, of course, impossible to present an accurate list of the householders who were here in 1761, after 15 yeass of settlement. A few of the names we found are probably those of non-residents. On the other hand there were people here who did not own land, and of such there is only casual mention Iin the record books. The following is therefore only an approximation to the actuial fact, the real number being doubtless somewhat larger than here appears. Nearly all were living in Stonewall and at the mouth of Bolar Run.

Carlile, John. Carlile, Robert. ... Hicklin, Hugh. Hicklin, John.

In 1767 Hugh Hicklin sold the 100 acres he received from VA a few years earlier.

Hugh Hicklin received a land patent signed by Gov Randolph in Augusta Co, Virginia. The original warrant was issued in 1775.

Census shows Hugh and wife, both over 45 years old, living alone in Montgomery Co, KY.

Hugh Hicklin was involved in building many of the original roads in the Bull Pasture.

According to Chalkey's History of Augusta, Vol 1, p 441: May 1753, Hugh Hicklin, Thomas Hicklin, John Hicklin and others petitioned for a road from William Wilson's Mill, on the Jackson River to Captain Ashton's mill, in the Bull Pasture.
