Map of Johns Creek Pike County, KY by Rev. Marion Tevis Burris 1851 notebook entry Reference: The Burris Family by Steven T. Hurt Fred T. May Posted April 2009 Introduction | Notes | Map The following map was first brought to my attention by Henry Forsyth, who got a copy from his mother a number of years ago. Her copy came from a lady in Catlettsburg. I later learned from David Hurt that Steven T. Hurt had included the map in his 1991 book on the Burris family. Marion Tevis Burris, the man who drew the map "In Memory of Home," was born August 28, 1828 on Johns Creek. His map reflects his memories of the location of the farms and watersheds along the creek from above the mouth of Bent Branch to its confluence with [Levisa Fork of] Sandy River. His notations are obviously based on stories he heard first-hand from early settlers of Johns Creek. Tevis was the son of Rev. Milton Leslie and Rachel Burris. She was unmarried when he was born and she later married a Mr. Horn about 1833. In 1834 Tevis was taken to live in the home of his uncle, Pharmer Lesley, on Johns Creek where he was reared. Early in these years with his Lesley relatives, he became a part of the Lesley Society which built Snivley Chapel on land donated by Martin Lesley in April 1853. The 1850 census shows that Tevis was a farmer living on Johns Creek in the home of Thomas Patton May, husband of his cousin, Margery Elizabeth (Betty) Leslie. In 1854 Tevis married Agnes Spears of Daniels Creek in Johnson Co, KY. He later became a Preacher, Teacher, Doctor, Artist and Historian. He and Agnes reared a family of ten children. They both died in 1904 and are buried in Hatten Cemetery at Durbin, Boyd County, KY Notes on the map should be of special interest to historians of Pike & Floyd County, KY Some of the notes are transcribed below, with help from Steven T. Hurt who apparently had a slightly more legible copy when he wrote his book. Johns Creek flows from top to bottom on the map, in a West by Northwest direction. The 1820 census here lists some of the neighboring families that appear on the map 1. The map begins a mile or so above Meta, KY where Bent Branch flows into Johns Creek. A drawing of a panther is prominent. [Near the mouth of present-day Bevins Branch]; "1809. Where John Lycan killed a panther, 9 ft. in lenght (sic). It carried a yearling by the back of the neck. Lycan was born 1792." 2.On the valley along Bent Branch; "The pre-historic lived and died here all over this valley. They had villages many places, warred & died." 3."A. Pinson" named at the mouth of Bent Branch. Probably Aaron Pinson, a pioneer who moved from the Watauga River Valley of Eastern Tennessee. 4. "Grave Mounds" is written and drawn on the sharp bend in Johns Creek above the mouth of Coon Creek. 5. Near the mounds is written; "Leslie Mill. Race cut by Tom Davis for P. Leslie." [Pharmer Lesley]. 6. "Burna Johnson set[tled] 1811" at the mouth of Coon Creek. 7. Other farms below Coon Creek: "Bevins, Jarrett Pinson, W. Scott, Wm. Pinson, Henry Pinson." The next note says, "Here Jas. Maynard settled 1803." 8. "Tom Pinson" lived at the mouth of Joe's Creek and further up the creek "Lead Mines" are noted. 9. "A man was killed here" is noted on either Miller's Creek or Cana [Caney] Creek. This death probably occurred on Miller's Creek which was the main route over a pass and down Stone Coal Creek to Sandy River. 10. On Bear Fork of Cana is a note "D. B. 1792." Probably referring to a Daniel Boone hunting camp. 11. HOME: Brushy Run extends to a pass [Brushy Gap] that goes to White Oak Branch of Buffalo Creek. Tevis drew hands pointing to this area as his home and noted "ancient diggings" nearby. This remote location is now accessable by a modern road passing around the airport at Hatcher Field on top of the mountain. 12. The next farm down Johns Creek was settled by "Ed Guilky - 1801," It was located just above the farm of "A.[Allen] Leslie - 1820" on Allen's Branch [now May Farm Branch], where Thomas Patton May lived after marrying Allen's daughter, Betty, in 1841. 13. The next short hollow is "Horse Pen Branch," which bears the note "Boone 1775." Stories of the Lesley/Leslie family tell that their ancestor, William Robert Lesley, learned of the area from Daniel Boone. 14. Snivley Chapel is not noted on the map. It was constructed in 1853 near the mouth of the next branch "Wm. Cornetts Br ?" [now named Walker Branch] flowing into Johns Creek. [This makes one speculate that the map might have been drawn before 1853.] 15. Martin's Branch is the location of the original Leslie Settlement and where some of the Leslie family members are buried. Notes on the map say, "Here Robert Leslie settled 1802. His father W.R. Leslie died - the first buried on Johns Creek. Pharmer Leslie was born May 22, 1803, the first child born in Pike Co." [actually Floyd County at the time]. 16. A significant landmark on Johns Creek was a giant tree drawn at the mouth of "Sycamore Cr." It is marked; "Tree camp - 15 ft. diameter." This hollow sycamore tree is where William Robert Lesley established temperory quarters while building a cabin for his family. In earlier years 'long hunters' from Virginia camped there during their excursions into the valley. 17. The next notes don Johns Creek reference: "Horse tracks found by Joseph Skaggs & Kendricks." They probably were early hunters exploring the valley. "Mound graves" near the farm of "Dr. P.L. Jackson." Now named Jackson Branch. 18. Branches on down Johns Creek to the mouth of "Brushy Fork" were named for families who settled there: "Job Dean's Br., Bevins Br. & Clay's Br." Some of these branches still bear these names. Two others are still named "Drift Branch & Missouri Branch." 19. Very few notes are made on Brushy Fork, though it extends a number of miles parallel to Johns Creek. "Small salt Reuben Clark" is noted below the mouth of Brushy. The boundary between Pike and Floyd County passes near this point. 20. Bufallo Creek extends to the right on the map with a note regarding "Thomas Wiley", husband of the famous Indian captive, Jennie Wiley. 21. The next branches of Johns Creek in Floyd County are noted as "Souders Br., McGuires Br., Dicks Branch, Brandy Keg & Stratton Br." Today Jennie Wiley State Park is located in this area. 22. Drawn on "Sandy River" [Levisa Fork of Big Sandy] below the mouth of Johns Creek is "Block House built by Harmans and Auxiers." This is where Jennie Wiley was rescued in her escape from her Indian captors in 1890. Also noted: "D. Boone and Nathan Boone left 1796." 23. The next creek down the river is Millers Creek and then Greasy Creek. Noted on this creek is "Daniel Boone Camp 1792-1796." and above there "Lead Mines." 24. Up Sandy River three creeks noted are: "Abbott, Middle Cr. and Beaver." Prestonsburg in not noted on the map. Near the location of the town is written: "Here A. Harman was born 1798, first on Sandy." 25. Names of the children of Robert Leslie are at the bottom of the map. IN MEMORY OF HOME by Rev. Marion Tevis Burris

The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek Written by Jenny Wagner and illustrated by Ron Brooks First edition: Longman Young Books, Melbourne, 1973 Our edition: Bradbury Press, 1977 The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek by We read it like this Click above to listen to the way we read The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek. The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek is a book I remember extremely fondly from my own childhood so I was pretty excited to find an ex library copy of it a few months ago, and even more pleased to see my son captivated by it from the word go. 'Again!, Again!, Again!' The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek is a stunningly illustrated, wonderfully philosophical tale about identity, prejudice, and, ultimately, the recognition of the self in and through others, featuring an existentialist bunyip. The Story 'Late one night, for no particular reason, something stirred in the black mud at the bottom of Berkeley's Creek.' It turns out to be something 'very large and very muddy' desperate to find out what it is. 'What am I? What am I?' it keeps asking. 'What am I? What am I? What am I?'. A helpful platypus tells him he's a bunyip. And then the bunyip wants to know more. 'What do bunyips look like?' it asks anybody who happens to be passing by. 'Horrible, with webbed feet and horrible feathers', a wallaby tells him, and with horrible fur and horrible tails, adds an emu, and 'like nothing at all' concludes a busy scientist without looking up from his notebook, who then explains, 'looking right through him': 'Bunyips simply don't exist'. 'What a pity, what a pity' mutters the bunyip as he makes his way back to his waterhole, where he picks up his belongings and goes of in search for somewhere where no one can see him and he can be 'as handsome as he likes'. At last he finds somewhere, unpacks his bag and settles down for the evening. 'But late that night, for no particular reason, something stirred in the black mud at the bottom of the billabong. 'What am I? What am I?' said a very large and very muddy creature sitting on the bank. And the bunyip is delighted to tell it it's a bunyip and to show it what it looks like: 'You look just like me'. The Illustrations Ron Brooks' pictures for The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek combine beautiful hatching and cross-hatching with watercolour washes. One of the most remarkable things about them, I think, is how they manage to create such a vivid and powerful sense of place. For years and years, far beyond my childhood, I remember identifying any mention of the Australian outback with Ron Brooks' scenery images in The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek. Of course the vocabulary -billabong, billy- helps too, but it was mainly a visual thing, I'm sure. Check out these two illustrations (and all the rest) to get a sense of what I mean: Before the story proper starts, Ron Brooks provides the setting. Walking after the disconcerting news that bunyips don't exist. W The portrayal of mood and feeling is also fantastic. The illustrations powerfully convey the bunyip's bewilderment at what he might be, his good-natured gratitude towards the platypus for revealing to him what he is, his excitement as he is about to be told what he looks like for the first time, the loneliness after discovering that in the eyes of others bunyips look horrible or, a lot worse, simply don't exist, then the comfort of having found a place where he can be as handsome as he likes, the pleasure of grooming himself and discovering himself at leisure in a mirror, and finally the excitement of finding a fellow bunyip, and finding himself in his friend and his friend in himself and the bliss at being able to share his bunyipness with another of his kind. Pensive bunyip Bunyip's eager to know The melancholy of non-existence The fascination and pleasure of self-discovery The exhilaration of company and (self) recognition. What's not to love about these illustrations? The colours (lovely yellows, ochres and muted greens, with touches of orange for sunsets and pink for the bunyip's face) are special too, adding to the sense of place I mentioned above. Plus I love the frames for the text. Ok, here's one last one. This one goes next to the illustration above where the bunyip is lying on the couch begging for an answer from the non-believing scientist. I love the screens behind the scientist, the expression on the scientist's face, and the sad eyes of the bunyip, desperate for a bit of therapy of the soul. Reading it aloud The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek is one of those stories that naturally makes you lower your voice when you start reading it. There's a sense of mystery and then a sense of intimacy to it. It has a beautiful and satisfactory circularity, with our bunyip appearing at the start and his friend appearing at the end, with the same words introducing them both. 'Late one night, for no particular reason, something stirred in the black mud...'. The dialogue is immediately attractive to even very young kids. 'What am I? What am I? What am I?' sounds great to young ears, and is intriguing and slightly amusing for older kids. And the same goes for 'What a pity, what a pity'. The interactions with the different animals -the platypus, the wallaby and the emu- and with the man are also rather amusing and have a nice sing-song quality to them, and repetition, with all of the bunyip's questions repeating the animals' statements. 'They have webbed feet and feathers', said the wallaby. 'Fine, handsome feathers, said the bunyip hopefully. 'Horrible feathers', said the wallaby firmly. I said at the start that I have fond memories of The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek from my own childhood, but the memories are more of reading it aloud myself than of it being read to me. I believe it actually belonged to my younger sister and I may remember reading it to her when I was six or seven and she was three or four. The enjoyment and pleasure children get from reading to younger siblings (and younger siblings get from older ones reading to them) probably deserves a post of its own, but for now I will say that I'm quite persuaded that my experience of being read picture books and of then continuing to read them to my younger sister (well past what was considered to be an appropriate age for them) has a lot to do with why I never stopped reading picture books. And that's quite enough about me and my marvellous sister. The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek is great for cuddling up on the sofa and for a bedtime story too. My son absolutely loves the 'What am I? What am I?' and the 'What a pity, what a pity' and will occasionally say them in all sorts of contexts while playing or while just chatting. He also loves looking at the illustration where the bunyip is combing himself while looking at himself in the mirror. Might children identify with the bunyip's relationship with the mirror? With using a mirror as a means of self-awareness? This is a superb story for reading aloud one-on-one or in groups, and engages audiences from the very first line and the very first images (who is that creature at the very top of this post? what's he thinking? what might his story be?). Other things we like about The Bunyip of Berkeley's Creek As many of you know from my other blog Story Philosophy, I have a bit of a penchant for picture books with philosophical discussion potential. I normally try to avoid duplicating books in both my blogs, but in this case, I think I'm just going to have to write a philosophical discussion for kids about the bunyip. As it is, I've had to restrain myself from not getting too philosophical in this post. So yes, we like it because it has plenty of potential for philosophical and general discussion. My son (now 3.5 years old, around 3 when we bought this) always asks: Why doesn't the man look at the bunyip? Why? My son's favourite part (and mine too) is the interaction with the scientist: The bunyip waited for a long time, and then he said, very slowly and clearly, 'Can you please tell me what bunyips look like?'. 'Yes', said the man without looking up. 'Bunyips don't look like anything'. 'Like nothing? said the bunyip. 'Like nothing at all', said the man. Are you sure?' said the bunyip. 'Quite sure' said the man, and looked right through him. 'Bunyips simply don't exist'. I think 'What a pity' as a reaction to being told you don't exist is pretty good. I like the way it is effectively a shift from objectification by others: 'what am I?' and what do I look like? (a view of the self by others) to subjectification through what one sees in the mirror and then identification with others: 'who am I?'. Unfortunately it isn't that easy to get hold of. The only edition that seems to be in print is this Penguin Australia edition. It is also more or less easy to get hold of second hand, at a reasonably decent price. Decent libraries in US and UK may also have a copy of it. Do check it out. (c) of all the images, Ron Brooks, 1973 (c) of the text, Ellen Duthie, 2012.
