Marc, The following is only one of a number of deed abstracts copied from Richard Pence's site referring to 'Holeman's' Creek. http://www.pipeline.com/~richardpence/shendeed.htm "The following deed abstracts are from books compiled by Amelia C. Gilreath. Ms. Gilreath has abstracted the deeds of Frederick County (Vols. 1-6 cover the period from 1743 to 1775) and Shenandoah County (Vols. 1-9 cover the period from 1772 to 1820) (The site gives Ms. Gilreath's smail and e-mail address) "[Vol. 1, 17] Deed Book A, Page 162 - 24 Nov. 1772. [Lease] Between Markus Ilor of Count of Dunmore [to] Michael Pence of same place ... Consideration of Five Shillings ... part of two tracts or parcelis of Land lying in County of Dunmore formerly Frederick on the Drains of Holeman Creek ... 266 acres being part of 326 acres Deeded to Jacob Boon and conveyed William Carroll and by said Carroll conveyed to Markus Ilor ... the other being 60 acres of the Easterly tract of 250 acres Granted Adam Rineheart from Proprietors Office 7 Aug. 1766 ... the rent of one pepper corn on Lady day next ... Wit: none signed in German Recorded: 25 Nov. 1772" ******************* Amazon.com notes that "Life Along Holman's Creek" by J. Floyd Wine is out of print. I placed an order with them because they search their network of used bookstores. It was very generous of you to copy all the names noted in Capt. Holman's Shenandoah Co. Militia 1775. A number of names were of particular (try enormous) interest. I certainly hope someone responds to your query about this militia. Maggie Kyger Miller (loganholmes@aol.com)
