October 9

The softly rippling stream,
The rising mountain, and the leafy wood,
Combine their charms to grace the splendid scene.

Capt. Samuel Moore and Rachel Landon were married in Litchfield, Conn., and began housekeeping in Salisbury.

Gilliland reached "a considerable creek of still water, which, from the number of trees we saw cut by beavers, we call Beaver river" (now the Little Au Sable ). He continued to Cragen river (Salmon River), of which he says:

"Went up this river about 100 yards to a 10 feet falls, by carrying the water 45 yards; this is a noble situation for a saw mill, as a dam can be made by a few hands in a day. Here is water for two mills and dead water to the foot of the falls."
