Tom, According to Lake's 1885 Atlas of Shenandoah and Page Counties which includes a street map of New Market, Solomon Henkel owned lot 60, but the atlas does not name the ownerof lot 62. A dwelling is shown to be on that lot.. The lots were on Lime Street, which is now Cadet Road/St (?). That street is one block west of New Market's main street which is Congress St. I've also wondered where Rockingham Co. stopped and Shenandoah began back in the old days. I encountered problems when researching my Phillips family from that area.
