    3. Hi everyone, yesterday I found White Marsh and called the present owners, who didn't even know it was called White Marsh! Wanted to pass the search info on to you. The key is asking the Rootsweb lists, so never hesitate! Several people have been trying to help me, both with family information and websites. Thank you all! Terraserver showed a White Marsh Branch of Reedy Creek. Then I received the URL for Campbell County GIS http://gis.co.campbell.va.us/campbellims/default.aspx and it was a miracle tool. You need to zoom to the level that has the yellow numbered circles, then click on identify, put your cursor on the yellow circle, and WHAMO up comes the legal description with the owners name and address. The name of the property may date back for years, so it is possible that the original plantation name is still on the deed, unnoticed by anyone. You could probably click on all the circles, and find lots of old names. ;-) Thanks again to everyone! Sarah Reveley San Antonio
