  Pursuing the same route Ferguson had taken, they passed over Mountain Creek and Broad River, at Denard's Ford, when they seem to have lost the trail of the fugitives, whose place of detour to the left they did not happen to discover. ...

  The mountain men, after crossing the Broad river, went on some two and a half miles, to what is now Alexander's Ford on the Green river... the fifth of October.
