Mr. Lillard followed the subsequent sales of the same 216 acres to Isaac N. Long on 25 July 1894. On 8 July 1931, Long sold the 216 acres to the Virginia State Commission on Conservation who in turn sold the property to the Shenandoah National Park who labeled it: Madison County Tract 141. You may read the history of Fisher's Gap including General Stonewall Jackson's crossing using the newly constructed Gordonsville New Market Turnpike in November 1862 at the link below. There are images of Fisher's grant and Long's deed as well. http://www.milaminvirginia.com/milam_gap.html Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
