Then John Stover leased it who released it to John Eisenhuth. John Eisenhuth was married to Elizabeth Rider, a daughter of George Rider, John Eisenhuth leased it to Geo. Rider again, The people kept Mr, Rider under the impression that the “Capp Survey” was not located there ; so Geo. Rider went to work and cleared a farm, sued that lasted twenty years, but at last George Rider was beaten. George Rider then located in the val. ley and took up his trade at carpenter- | ing.
