    1. [VAROCKIN] Lick Run in Rockingham County
    2. Joseph J. Messersmith, Jr.
    3. Rockingham Rooters: While reviewing a 1763 patent for land in what is now eastern Rockingham County, Lick Run is mentioned in the description of the land. I cannot find Lick Run on the present road map of Rockingham County issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). It seems to me that in the past I have seen at least one description referring to a Stony Lick Run, and from that I have assumed that Lick Run is the same as Stony Run. Stony Run is shown on the VDOT map and flows from NW to SE through McGaheysville and empties into the South Fork of the Shenandoah River about 2.5 miles SE of downtown (grin) McGaheysville. I will appreciate help in trying to determine the location of Lick Run or the present name of it. Thanks. Jim Messersmith
