    Notes 
    • "[Mary Jane Gaston and husband Martin Ward] came to Bone Creek [about 1842]. Mrs. Ward rode on horseback through the forest, with her babe in her arms, and her ten-year old sister behind her. Mr. Ward cleared three hundred acres in Union District, and marvelous were the changes their hands helped to bring about.... When they came to Bone Creek there was but few families there, and no other pioneers had longer connection or were held in higher esteem." [5]
