One stream called Beaver Creek is close to Knoxville. One stream called Beaver Dam Creek is in Guilford County and runs into the Haw River. I found it on the Collett Map of 1770 in Clayton Library. Another Beaver Creek is a little bit south of this Beaver Dam Creek and runs into the Reedy Fork of the Haw. However, this is probably not the creek referred to in the NC grants in the Eastern Division. One grant refers to the head of Bull Run and Beaver Dam Creek. I did not find this Beaver Dam Creek but Bull Run Creek runs generally parallel to the Anderson-Knox County lines. There may be others. The grants are numbered and can be located in a survey book with plats attached. Alternatively, copies of the deeds may be secured and the descriptions checked.. Pole Cat Creek is easier to locate. The main road to Cape Fear runs through Pole Cat Settlement. Regards, Barbara
