  Notes	1840 JC Mary Board 1f 10-15 [grandchild?] 1f 60-70 next is William 1m 20-30 1f 15-20 House "Pioneers" Keenan Farm Who next lived on this farm is not given, all being blank until some time in the early thirties, when it passed into the hands of Thomas Bord, who had married a daughter of John Harpold, who lived at the ford above Ripley. Bord was a son of Patrick Bord, the pioneer of Reedy, being 4 years old at the time of the emigration from Greene County, PA, to the wilds of western VA. He lived on this farm several years, and was one of the most ingenious blacksmiths, gunsmiths and mechanics ever in Jackson county. It is said he experimented a long time with the problem of perpetual motion, and there used to be a story extant that he once constructed a flying machine, withwhich he rose from the top of a neighboring hill and soared majestically over Ripley, unfortunately breaking his machine. From a habit of always expressing assent to a proposition by a phrase "that's a fact, sure", he was known every where as "Fact Tom" or Fact-sure Tom bord", which served to distinguish him from two others of the same name. He was born in November 1811, and died in the summer of 1869.
