Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry. During his lifetime, James Ellison purchased and sold lands on Muddy Creek and Drowning Creek. On 8 Dec. 1835 (Deed Book W, Pg 223-224) he purchased 1150 acres. My description was brief and thus incomplete. The deed was to land in Madison Co. on the waters of Station camp creek and bounded as follows to wit .... crossing a branch of Station camp creek.... boundary of Speeds survey... south side of the red lick and corner to said Speed... another of Speeds lines.. another of said Speed's corners... crossing a branch of Drowning creek... in Smith's line.. Smith's survey... I started to copy the deed description in full but will need more time to do that so wanted to send this along with my thanks. If anyone wants the more complete version, please let me know. This seems to indicate that the land is on the waters of Station Camp Creek in Madison Co.; however, following "bounded as follows to wit" a branch of Station Camp Creek and other land features are listed, as shown above. But the Station Camp Creek itself is not referenced. If anyone has a further idea regarding the location of this land, I am interested. Thanks, Jay G.
