river appears to diminesh bet. hwy 54 and hwy 87 appears that     wm stroud lived bet. This appears to be the little part of the Haw in current Orange Co. but I don't see a likely route to Hillsborough.  Of course everything has changed out Carrboro way over the years.  Any guesses,tho, appreciated! Drive out of C.H. toward Snow Camp and will cross a bridge as you are heading toward the location where this rd. intersects with hwy 54.  Looks to me like the Haw...and I followed it on a Google map right up to it's known location in Alamance Co. Cousin Walter Atwater, whose home falls barely into Orange, lives on Collins Mt. Rd. and his/our ancestor, Moses Atwater's land, from which Walter's is a part of, had the Haw as his back boundary.  The Orange-Chatham land boundary marker runs right through his land. The Stroud land and the Atwater land joined each other.  Notice Terrell's Creek, below.  As I recall the Atwater family had mills on one of old Timothy Terrell's several creeks and I think Bryant Stroud's mill was on Morgan Creek...does anyone know where Morgan's Mill was??  Maybe where 15-501 crosses?  I think Morgan Creek was named for Hardy Morgan.  He sold Point Prospect/Barbee Mt., behind Dromghoul Castle to his cousin, Old Kit Barbee and the adjoining property,  Strowd Hill, to my g g grandfather W.F. Strowd, now known as Davie Circle. I have the data below ready for my Orange Co. book....Bebe William Stroud, Jr. settled in Orange County where he served as a juror in 1777, 1778, and 1779, thus is listed with the DAR as a Revolutionary Patriot.  In 1777 he was appointed to help determine the route from the Chatham County line over the Haw River at Morgan's Mill to Hillsborough.  He servedº as tax accessor for the St. Thomas District in the same year.  William also served to help oversee the repair of the road from Hillsborough to James Mill and the road from Hillsborough to ten mile tree.  In 1777 his plantation was valued at 6,547 pounds.  In 1779 he entered 640 acres on Terrell's Creek, the land ajoining that of his brother Peter.  The Orange County tax list of 1780 shows that he owned 892 acres of land, 19 head of cattle and 6 horses, for a total of 5,780 pounds. He directed John Hogan, Thomas Lloyd, and son John Stroud to appraise his estate.  His witnesses were William Willis, Mary Buckner, and William Buckner, who all made their marks.  William Stroud, however, signed his own name.  He died within the same month, as his will was entered for probate at August Court.  William chose his wife Elizabeth, and his "trusty friend" John Hogan, as executors.  Hogan was a well to do man who had held the responsible position of Treasurer of Orange County.  The property of William Stroud was to be eventually divided among his children, excluding John, whom we know was already settled on Phil's Creek, with his wife Delilah Bryant.  Was this the same John Hogan, who in Granville County testified at the murder trial of Delilah's father, William Bryant ?  And is this the same Lloyd family who were neighbors to the Stroud's in Brunswick County, Virginia?

Ms Scarlett, I'll make a very hasty response and try not to embarrass Bill after he suggested I might know something. There is a well preserved Faucette Mill northwest of Hillsborough and it, the miller's house, and a colonial era inn sit next to the great road to Salisbury. In fact, modern Lebanon Rd was of the three major westbound roads, throughout most of the 19th century, the main westbound road out of Hillsborough. The ford there, in fact, pre-dates Hillsborough. Another ford, one on the most recent mill pond was regularly used by local folks for car washing of a Sunday, and it is only recently that the latest owner of the mill seat has banned public use of the ford.. There is a file on the mill in the verticle files of the NC Room in the OC Library, and the inn up the road, called "Chatwood" also has its own file that includes information germane to Faucette Mill. One of the hurricanes, probably Fran, tore out the beautiful free stacked stone dam back in the 90s. There is still visible, though, a head race carved out of bedrock between the dam site and the mill site. The road beds on both sides of the river leading to the ford are still visible. The current owners wrapping a 5000 sqft structure around the original 500 sqft miller's house but you can still see part of one wall of the older building. That's about all I can think of now. I've attached a topo and an ortho map of the Faucette Mill area with points mentioned above labelled.

NC NATURAL HERITAGE ORANGE IS VERY DIVERSE AS CONTAINS THREE DIFFERENT RIVER BASINS CAPE FEAR, NEUSE, AND THE ROANOKE NEW HOPE CREEK, MORGAN CREEK, CANE CREEK, AND BACK CREEK FLOW INTO THE CAPE FEAR RIVER? BASIN VIA THE HAW RIVER WHICH FORMS THE COUNTY'S SOUTHWESTERN CORNER. ABOVE IS DIRECT QUOTE. Where can I find a list or map which indicates the location of particular st. roads. I have found that 1005 leads? leads to or toward the Haw in Orange Co. It would be somewhere near the southeastern border of Orange Co. All of my mother's Orange Co. families lived in this general area...Wilson of Damascus Ch., as well as McCauley, Stroud and Strowd, Atwater, except the Johnstons and Blackwoods byt they weren't very far away.

Ms Scarlett, I'll make a very hasty response and try not to embarrass Bill after he suggested I might know something. There is a well preserved Faucette Mill northwest of Hillsborough and it, the miller's house, and a colonial era inn sit next to the great road to Salisbury. In fact, modern Lebanon Rd was of the three major westbound roads, throughout most of the 19th century, the main westbound road out of Hillsborough. The ford there, in fact, pre-dates Hillsborough. Another ford, one on the most recent mill pond was regularly used by local folks for car washing of a Sunday, and it is only recently that the latest owner of the mill seat has banned public use of the ford.. There is a file on the mill in the verticle files of the NC Room in the OC Library, and the inn up the road, called "Chatwood" also has its own file that includes information germane to Faucette Mill. One of the hurricanes, probably Fran, tore out the beautiful free stacked stone dam back in the 90s. There is still visible, though, a head race carved out of bedrock between the dam site and the mill site. The road beds on both sides of the river leading to the ford are still visible. The current owners wrapping a 5000 sqft structure around the original 500 sqft miller's house but you can still see part of one wall of the older building. That's about all I can think of now. I've attached a topo and an ortho map of the Faucette Mill area with points mentioned above labelled.

Bebe, I have a book called "North Carolina County Maps" that shows 1005. In fact, I use that road frequently to travel between Carrboro and Greensboro. In Orange County, it's known as Old Greensboro Rd. It starts at Jones Ferry Road just west of Carrboro near University Lake, then runs west over the Haw. It crosses NC 87 at Eli Whitney in Alamance County, makes a right turn at the Cane Creek Friends Meeting just past Snow Camp, runs northwest-ish to Kimesville where it makes a left turn and runs into Greensboro at 421 just south of old I-85. At the Greensboro end, it's known as Alamance Church Road. The book of maps appears to be out of print, but you can find "Old Greensboro Rd." on MapQuest.
