South of Old Pikeville Road and Thomas Flippin's land, a military grant of 1,800 acres was awarded to Virginia Navy Captain Thomas Lilly for his service in the American Revolutionary War. When the land was surveyed in 1797, it was assigned to Charles Copland, with 1,442 acres, and William Croghan, with 358 acres, Croghan being the brother-in-law of George Rogers Clark. Daniel Boone was one of the surveyors and hunted here. This Reid and Pearson Survey, surrounding Indian Creek and including present-day Flippin, extended from the east near Jack Haile Road to the west near Grooms Branch. Copland assigned his tract to the family of his sister, Clarissa Copland Goodall and John Goodall and sons, and to John and Ann Goodall Martin.
