- This is a financial account of monies owed to Mary McKnight (by the state of Georgia?) for ferrying unnamed Indians. The account details the number of persons ferried, whether they were on foot or horse, and the cost per ferriage. McKnight performed these services for various Indians between January 28, 1776 and December 9, 1776. The document does not indicate on which body of water the ferry operated.
