I told you I remembered something about this -- well, I haven't run across my copy of that section of the Peters Creek Watershed history -- but did run into the bio of Joseph Moore CURRY (from Beers or perhaps Crumrine). "In 1845 the subject of this sketch (Joseph Moore Curry) was married to Mary J, the daughter of Robert Campbell. In 1852 he purchased a tract of land one mile below Finleyville, from J S Gaston, and there built a large store, mansion house, a number of tenant houses and shops, thus founding the town of Curryville, which he afterward had changed to Gastonville, in honor of the original landholder." Now when I find the other reference I'll let you know. Russ
