Many of the lesser camps and stations had been broken up, and at the end of the year there remained only four--Boonsborough, Harrodstown, Logan's station at St.Asaphs, and McGarry's, at the Shawnee Springs.

They contained in all some five or six hundred permanent settlers, nearly half of them being able-bodied riflemen.

give these four stations; Boon says there were but three.

He was writing from memory, however, and was probably mistaken; thus he says there were at that time settlers at the Falls, an evident mistake, as there were none there till the following year.
Collins, following Marshall, says there were at the end of the year only one hundred and two men in Kentucky,--sixty-five at Harrodstown, twenty-two at Boonsborough, fifteen at Logan's.
