Jim, I don't know if this has anything to do with your question about Lick Run or not but thought I would pass it along. My Everharts had three pieces of property in Eastern Rockingham County in the 1790s. The grants place them "in the Peaker Mountain" and one of them is on the West side of Luck, Cub, and Wolf Runs. I have never found "Luck Run" on a map and was wondering if my Luck Run and your Lick Run might be the same? At any rate, I did find Cub Run on a map in Wayland's "Virginia Valley Records" On it I see that Stoney Run is just north of Cub Run. Any ideas from anyone will be appreciated.
