MY REPLY: Are you the person who is looking for Rohowick? I've done years of work on my Phillips connections in Prince George County and Dinwiddie, and on the creeks that were called swamps in that time (early 1700s). I think Rohowick is mentioned in the historic patents, and I believe it's a creek in Petersburg and Dinwiddie (former Prince George) County. I seem to have missed the first part of this discussion. May I ask what families you are working on?

I am the person looking for Rohowick. I too have seen found it mentioned in patents in Prince George County, Virginia. I'm working with (drowning in?) Jones families. Thanks to Barbara Vines Little for the reference to Bigg's index to topological quadrangle maps, with which I am unfamiliar. But I will try to erase that handicap! Marilyn Symonds
