     I have heard Capt. Cope say that when the Copeses came there was a
patch of land cleared opposite the mouth of Quicksand.  It had been
planted the previous year then deserted.
     Coons and other animals were destroying it.  The coons were still
walking from the dead trees.  The Copeses came down Quicksand, made canoes
at the mouth of Spring Fork and came down on them.
     Sewell Taulbee's grandfather, William Taulbee, was torn by a panther.
Sewell is well posted in Taulbees.  Jerry Combs is a good authority. 
"Black Hoof" came to Indian Fields in 1820.  He was born at Indian Fields,
so was Tecumseh (?).  George Hisle says an Indian Methodist preacher, a
circuit rider, used to preach near Indian Fields.  War Creek was named for
an Indian fight.  There was an Indian fight about the mouth of Lost Creek.
