I am probably a day or so late, since I get the digest, but, about the creeks.....check out the Virginia Library online, and search in deeds and tax records, and somewhere there were maps showing how these creeks played parts of boundaries for properties and in many cases were the "roads". I would start in the index, which has loads of leads on everything from war service to bonds of matrimony to bonds of debt. There is also a link to the NC Library for cross boundary searching. Good luck!
