Hi Edgar, I show Beaverdam Creek in Bedford county, Virginia, entering the Staunton (Roanoke) River north of Hales Ford at Carter Island Ford, just below the present town of Goodview. It passes Goodview and splits into a West Fork of Beaverdam Creek and an East Fork. There is also a North Fork of Beaverdam flowing into the East Fork. There is a Beaverdam Baptist Church founded in 1803, near the East Fork, close to Chamblissburg, according to the Historical Map. It is still referred to as Beaverdam Creek now, I do believe. I believe this is the same Beaverdam on those early patents you refer to. They probably also reference the Staunton River. Are there any other references to landmarks? I hope this is the one you're looking for! Linda in Florida
