Breckenridge County Kentucky

William Grossstates that he lives in Cloverport Kentucky and whilst Margolyes Kept his tavern, he was employed by the coal & oil company on there road and the said Tavern being on the immediate side of the road makes me well acquanited with said Margolyes and his tavern. I have staid with Margolyes only 2 nights, and eat there several times, I have seen corn fodder & other food for horses &c and I know he had a stable. I know also that the said Margolyes always tried to keep an orderly house and that always when I was there, I was as well entertained as I wished to be or as well as could be at any country tavern Given under my hand this 22nd day of November 1861
