Hello Fauquier listers: As many of you know, Goose Creek (so named in Colonial days before the American Revolution, and still so named .... i.e. there are signs "Goose Creek" posted on I-66 just east of Manassas Gap reading "Goose Creek") rises in the Blue Ridge near Linden and flows North Eastward through Fauquier County, thence across Loudoun County and empties in to the Potomac. I have this question ( ? ? ?) for each or any of the Fauquier listers. Does anyone know of a book, paper, pamphlet or magazine (historical or otherwise) article which deals with the subject of land holdings & owners names of the land along either side of Goose Creek, in Fauquier County. As most would probably agree, since water courses were important (for a number of reasons) in early and Colonial Virginia, it would be most useful, as well as time saving, to find such a document (whether book or otherwise). For instance Thomas Massie of Frederick County had 900+ acres on Goose Creek (probably somewhere near Linden) in the 1780's which he leased (3 Lives Leases) in 160 acre tracts, but I have never been able to determine exactly where this 900+ acres was located (I.e., I have never been able to find a metes and bounds description of the 900+ acres). I have copies of three of the leases, but they describe the 160 acres by giving a "Lot" number (but do make a reference to Goose Creek). Please send me any info either on-list or off-list as you choose. Thanks for your interest ! !
