On 6 Jan 1786, Robert Breckinridge surveyed 2000 acres for Colonel William Christian that adjoined his Bullitt Lick tract, and also the 900 acre tract of Peter Shepherd. However, Nicholas Meriwether filed a caveat against Christian's claim on 9 Sep 1786, and it appears that Christian did not receive a deed for it. A drawing of the tract is shown here.
