******************** you can check the following site for territorial maps--KY did not become a state until 1792. <A HREF="http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MAP/terr_hp.html">U.S. Territorial Maps 1775-1920</A> ****************************************** Subj: Re: [SMOTHERS] Bransford Stemmery Date: 9/30/00 4:27:15 PM Mountain Daylight Time From: [email protected] (Nena Smothers) Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Time period is about 1770, Russ. Thanks so much for telling me what a stemmery is. I've been looking at maps for 2 days trying to figure this all out. Virginia, obviously was quite large at one time, 200 miles wide or something to that effect...and I think even if this killing of my grandfather ocurred where one could see the Ohio River, it had to be in KY..not Va...the Ohio RVR does not touch even WV I dont think and that would have been part of VA in those days too., right?
