I owned property in Franklin Co. from 1981-87 on Turners Creek in Ferrum, VA. The old farmhouse had been vacant for several years, and in desperate need of major repairs. The previous owners were Fergusons, who I believe were in the lumber business. I think the original owners who built the house were Sigmons. The large family originally lived in a log cabin on the property, and built the 2 story T shape farmhouse in early 1900's. There is a cemetery on the hill across the road from the old farmhouse. This property is located 6 miles west of Ferrum College off Rt. 40 before you get to Crossroads. If you continue on this road for several miles, you can bear left onto Five Mile Post into Floyd Co., or bear right and it will take you into Callaway. I'm not sure where Long Branch District is located.

Donna: Was your property near an old farmhouse where there is now an old car dump ground? My Young's are buried in the front yard under the tree there and my father was born in Ferrum not far away. Many of his ancestors were Turners. I knew that the name Turner appears around, but I don't remember seeing it attached to a creek in Ferrum! Thank you.

Kathe, I owned an old farmhouse and some acreage around it. I haven't been back there in about 8-9 years, and at that time it wasn't an old car dump. I can't imagine anyone doing that to the property around there since my last visit to the area. We completely renovated the old farmhouse, which is located in a beautiful small open valley. The house set back off the road on the other side of Turner's Creek. This property is located 6 miles off Rt. 40 west of Ferrum College before you get to Crossroads. There are Turners in my line as well, dating around mid 1700 from Bedford Co. Donna p.s. Check out a map of Ferrum about 2 miles west of the college off Rt. 40 you'll see Turners Creek Rd. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathe Martin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 02, 2005 9:37 AM Subject: Re: [VAFRANKL] Peter Sigmon > Donna: > > Was your property near an old farmhouse where there is now an old car dump > ground?
