In 1800 a John Molton, Jr. and a Levi Molton were in Gallatin County, Kentucky.
Their son Benjamin said:
We were living in a shanty at the mouth of Grant's Creek; the back water in the creek drove us out, and we camped for the night on high ground, near a dead black ash tree; during the night, this tree fell across the party, killing my father, mother, and younger brother, instantly, and fractured the skull of my brother Bill, who is older, now lives up the creek.
