Barb: Chestnut creek in Franklin Co, Va is located above Chestnut Mountain, lower right hand side, up about 3-5 inches. There is a little Chestnut Creek which starts at about Thomas Ramsey (1751) above Brier Mountain above Sydnorsville, runs over and connects with Big Chestnut Crk about where Hanging Rock is located and then around Chestnut Mountain and deadends into Walker Crk. A Samuel Webb & Rebecca Webb sold 100A and Stankhope & Carey Richeson sold 49A to John Beckelshymer making a total of 149A. Bk 2, page 439 1792.Nov.05. The Joseph Pickleheimer (1783) lived ...go to right side of map, to where th Sataunton River goes east...about half way down. Then go back about 3 inches and up 1 inch. He is located about at Scroggs P.O. and below Hutchingsons Mill on Gills Creek. John & Barbara sold 200A Waters of Gills Creek begins on Talbots Corner to M. McPikes line to Alexander Ferguson. If you follow Gills Creek to the left of where you find Joseph P you will find Alexander Ferguson. It had been so many years since I worked on these maps, guess I thought my memory was okay ...but had to review this. For the rest of the gang... I have the following maps 1. Bedford Co = 1750-1865. 2. Fincastle Co = 1772-1777 (no names on this) 3. Montgomery Co = 1750-1865 (no Becklehymers shown) 4. Roanoke Co = shows original grants- no Beckelhymers 5. Wythe Co =1745-1858 =found no Beckelhymers 6. Pulaski Co =1776=1976 = found no Beckelhymers 7. Botetourt Co = 1770=1820 - found no Beckelhymers Some of the descriptions of land sales etc, you could just about find it on one or another of the maps. I have a lot of the VA land records...by no means all of them... I just gathered these from ...wherever... over the years. I also have a lot of Clermont Co, OH and a lot from Campbell Co KY (mostly my forefathers Behymer, Perry, Nelson, etc) Barb, does the above info on the creeks help? Hope so. Sallye
