Eddie: Just received the map I ordered from you on Roanoke/Salem, etc. It is very interesting and hopefully will put me on the right trail in the future. Haven't had a chance to pursue much as we have been moving to a new spot down here in Florida. Will get back with more input when I've had a REAL chance at it. I would say the money will be well spent for the old maps you will copy. Thanks again, Beckie

All, I have not done a LEE CO. map. I don't have sufficient data. I am working on a SCOTT Co. but it will be several weeks. The error on the Wash. Co. map was so minor that only I would notice. I do like to be exact. I hope to do a RUSSELL Co. & TAZEWELL Co. but I must have sufficient data. It is hard to find. -eddie, sysop Date forwarded: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 12:23:30 -0800 (PST) From: "DIANA M WILLIAMS" <DIANAINDALLAS@prodigy.net> Subject: Re: Historical Maps, etc Date sent: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 14:27:54 -0600 To: SW_VA-L@rootsweb.com Forwarded by: SW_VA-L@rootsweb.com I got the Washington Co.

Greetings! Any help or info. Re: Campbell Maxwell b: 1800? d: 1832? in Tazewell Co. would be greatly appreciated. Grandma said his wife was Sarah Jane Whitten. The book "Tazewell County, Virginia Marriages 1800-1853" lists Jane Whitley as his wife m: 1822. Please help. Also, who was his father? Thank you for your time.

I would like Scott Co. Lee and Wise if you have them. Elizabeth

I have received more than enough response to the maps post. I will have to get them organized and devise a method for making the copies and filling the orders without confusion and error. I would feel better if the individuals who bought the prior maps would please write a short note to the List evaluating the maps they received. e.g. was it worth the $$$ . I don't want people being dissatified with what they receive. One big factor will be the weather. It has been mild winter by NH standard but we can drop below zero or get a foot of snow at any time. The Washington Co. & Scott Co. Historical maps will take a little longer because I want to add to them and fix some errors. Thanks for your interest. I hope to do a Russell & Tazewell Co. sometime this year if I can get the data. -eddie, sysop

I am interested in #3 Southwestern VA map 1880. Also in the future if you or anyone else knows of a detailed map of present day Russell County. Thank you,Anne

WONDERFUL ENDURANCE AND PERSEVERANCE OF MRS. SCOTT. Mrs. Scott, a resident of Washington county, Virginia, was taken captive by Indians on the night of the 29th of June, 1785. Her husband and all her children were slain; and before morning she was forced to commence her march through the wilderness. On the eleventh day of her captivity, while in charge of four Indians, provision becoming scarce, a halt was made, and three of the number went on a hunting excursion. Being left in the care of an old man, she made him believe she was reconciled to her condition, and thus threw him off his guard. Anxious to escape, and having matured her plans, she asked him, in the most disinterested manner possible, to let her go to a small stream, near by, and wash her apron, which was besmeared with the blood of one of her children. He gave her leave, and while he was busy in "graining a deer-skin," she started off. Arriving at the stream, without a moment's hesitation, she pushed on in the direction of a mountain. Traveling till late at night, she come into a valley where she hoped to find the track along which she had been taken by her captors, and thereby be able to retrace here steps. Hurrying across the valley to the margin of a river, which she supposed must be the eastern branch of the Kentucky, she discovered in the sand the tracks of two men who had followed the stream upwards and returned. Thinking them to be the prints of pursuers, and that they had returned from the search, she took courage, thanked God, and was prepared to continue her flight. On the third day she came very near falling into the hands of savages, a company whom she supposed had been sent to Clinch river on a pilfering excursion. Hearing their approach before they came in sight, she concealed herself, and they passed without noticing her. She now became greatly alarmed, and was so bewildered as to lose her way and to wander at random for several days. At length, coming to a stream that seemed to flow from the east, she concluded it must be Sandy river; and resolving to trace in to its source, which was near a settlement where she was acquainted, she pushed on for several days, till she come into mountainous regions and to craggy steeps. There, in the vicinity of a prodigious waterfall," she was forced to leap from a precipice, upon some rocks, and was so stunned as to be obliged to make a short delay in her journey. Soon after passing through the mountain, (Laurel mt.) she was bitten by a snake which she supposed was venomous. She killed it, and expected her turn to die would come next; but the only injury she received was some pain and the slight swelling of one foot. A writer, whose narration we follow and whose facts are more reliable than his philosophy, thinks that, being "reduced to a mere skeleton, with fatigue, hunger and grief," she was probably, on that account, "saved from the effects of the poisonous fangs." Leaving the river, Mrs. Scott came to a forked valley, and watching the flight of birds, took the branch they did, and in the two days came in sight of New Garden, the settlement of Clinch river, before referred to. Thus, after wandering in the wilderness for six long weeks, almost destitute of clothing, without a weapon of defense or instrument for obtaining provision; exposed to wild beasts and merciless savages; subsisting a full month on the juice of young cane stalks, sassafras leaves and similar food; looking to God in prayer for guidance by day, and for protection by night; shielded from serious harm, and led by an unseen Hand, on the eleventh of August, the wanderings of the widowed and childless captive were brought to a close.

I would like to have an 1800 Bland County, Va. Map. Thanks, Bob
