It was near Scales, Port Wine and Strawberry Valley. My grandmother taught in Scales. I really don't know anything about that area. My ancestors had a stage stop in a place called Rocky Point. They were the Yarringtons, and the Vanns. Hope this helps a little. Kathleen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
