[C] In Pittsylvania County, near the North Carolina line, and northwest of the Little Sawra Towns. cf. Map, Jefferson’s Notes, Ed. 1787.

[D] Smyth’s entire book, two volumes, is one of the most interesting of that period. It is possible he exaggerates, and he may be a compiler here and there when he professes to be giving his own adventures. He is readable always. Chapters of his book offer puzzles which are yet to be elucidated. Some one must carefully check up the adventures of John Rowzee Peyton with those of Smyth. (See John L. Peyton, Adventures of My Grandfather.)

[E] And it is not at all impossible that the work was wholly a compilation, done skilfully at London.

[F] Translated by Philip Freneau. Philadelphia, 1783: Price ‘two thirds of a dollar.’

[G] The Marquis Armand de la RouËrie, called in America Colonel Armand.

[H] Colonel Banister was the son of the botanist. cf. Campbell, p. 725.

[I] Dr. Greenway was a connection of Gen. Winfield Scott. cf. Scott’s Autobiography, I, pp. 3-5.

[J] John Wesley, d. in London, March 2, 1791. In Georgia and the Carolinas Dr. Coke had been on ground familiar to Wesley. cf. Rev. J. Wesley’s Journal, 1st American edition, New York, 1837. Vol. I, pp. 1-52 (1735-1738).

[K] From the description of the plantation, acreage, equipment, etc., and the character of the proprietor, Col. P. might have been Col. Richard Kidder Meade, father of Bishop Meade, to whom Washington’s farewell advice was, “Friend Dick, you must go to a plantation in Virginia.”

[L] New York at that time, according to this traveler, had but two banks; and there were but three at Philadelphia, the commercial centre of the country.

[M] Davis wrote in 1806 a historical novel, The First Settlers of Virginia, largely the story of Pocahontas. In the modern romantic way, Davis discovered the Princess Pocahontas.

[N] During the war in Europe the United States were a sort of temporary depot of the produce of all countries. Commodities over and above consumption were re-exported. Madeira might come back a second time. cf. La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt, Vol. II, p. 588.
