Don't know if this will narrow it down much, but-- I am in the process of (very slowly) transcribing/abstracting the Hampshire Co. court minutes 1847-1850 (probably will finish in about 20 years! I'll keep you all posted), and found a few references to a road planned in that area, notably: >On the motion of Philip Swisher through whose land the road prayed for >from the grassy lick road upon the land of Joseph Hoffman to Horns saw >mill road on the land of Enoch Park will pass a writ in the motion of ad >quod damnum is awarded him to ascertain what damage he will >sustain....(This was dated Dec. 27, 1847). Now if you can just figure out where Horn's Saw Mill Road is/was, you'll know you're in the general region....:) Martha Grenzeback graymatters@alltel.net > At 12:07 PM 21-02-2004 -0500, Wilmer L.
