Also the Lands in Louisannna that the spanish Government gave him
was taken from him By Congres and he never had any land given
him untill he was about 80 years old and a short time before his
death his life was a remarkable one He lived 3 Months in the wilderness
of Kentucky 500 miles from any white men without bread, sugar,
or salt in a camp surrounded with Indians and was taken
twice a prisioner by them & escaped Built a fort gathered his family
and white Emigration to it & maintained it through many years
of Indian wars & was then deprived of his home By Lawyiers
