Was born on the "head-waters" of "Boone's Creek," in said county.

I resided for several years in the "Boone's Creek Civil District," in Washington County (this some "twenty years ago"), within two miles of the historic tree in question, on which is carved, "D.
Boon cilled bar &c."; have visited and examined the tree more than once.

The tree is a beech, still standing, though fast decaying.

It is located some eight miles northeast of Jonesboro, the county seat of Washington, on the "waters of Boone's Creek," which creek was named after Daniel Boone, and on which (creek) it is certain Daniel Boone "camped" during a winter or two.

The tree stands about two miles from the spring, where it has always been understood Boone's camp was.
