On this day GW probably stopped at John H. Barney’s tavern on the west bank of the Susquehanna River. On 17 Aug., GW’s cash memorandum notes “By a Bank bill of five dollars, sent Mr. Barney of Havre de grace, out of wch. to rec[eiv]e the ferriage I forgot to pay when I crossed on my last journey from Virga. the bal[anc]e to be returned to me—or paid when I call there again. Note, this Bill was returned in a letter from Mr. Barney informing me that I had paid the ferriage” (29 Sept. 1794–17 Aug. 1797, RPJCB).
