I agree with Linda, when y'all ask a 'blanket question' could you please provide a 'blanket answer'? What big town (visible on the map) is it near and does anyone know where Harper's Ferry is? I can find it in the old High School History Book in the text but not on a map of any kind. Only know that it was originally in VA but as they subdivided and created W. VA from VA... I 'think' it is now considered in W. VA. Where? I'm geographically challenged, i.e., I was raised on the West Coast of this here U.S. and know absolutely 'zilch' about the area of my progenitor's original habitation in the Colonies. But I want to over come this handicap and with only the questions listed I find myself with only ONE oar in the water. Try not to get too sooty down thar in Florida...
