Hi Stan, I will have to look at my notes from my 2001 trip to Hiscory Pt to verify but I recall Lock B Rd as possibly being where my coakley's lived or intersecting their rd. Our cabin was near where the creek crossed the road. Where did your grandfather learn to fish? That store does sound like the one my family walked to. I wish my aunt was still living so I could mention your grandfather to her. She provided many genealogy clues in my search.
