---------------

Sailor's Run, a stream flowing into Duck Creek, about two miles below
Carlisle, is so named after Jacob Sailor, an early settler on this stream.
Jacob Sailor's wife was Esther Crow, a sister to the Crow girls, who were
killed by the Indians near Wheeling in 1791. On Sailor's Run was the last
Indian camp in this part of the country. It was occupied by a party of Indian
hunters in 1812. None were ever seen here after that year, all deserting the
country to engage in war.

Jacob Sailor is said to have built the first hewed log house on the creek. He
sold out to William Smith prior to 1830, and removed to Indiana. Smith came
from Monroe County.
