Gayle, Don't anything about the Grady/Graddy family or where they lived but it would make sense there were members of the family on this branch which was probably named after them. Am trying to find out where it was because can't find it. Deep Run and Horse or Horsepen Branch were ss of the river but sort of due south from Falling Creek and Bear Creek. There were Taylors near Bear Creek because they intermarried with the Rouse family early. No idea if there was any connection with my Taylors but there were Williams in both families of the same age - more or less. Martha Martha, Interesting about GRADDY Branch We think Pierce Mozingo's second wife may have been Sarah GRADDY, but I haven't found any Graddys who had a daughter b. abt 1760 Do you know if the GRADDYs lived on that branch? Do you know the proximity of it to Bear Creek or Falling Creek. Appreciate any help.
