Chocy, Thanks very much for the exciting information on my Quick family ancestors! Now I know some more of them were in Shenandoah County than I knew before! Your help is much appreciated. Yours truly, Dell Quick P.S. to Norman Runyon: No, I do not know about the village of Tunis, or how it got its name. Where is it?

Hi Dell, If I am reading my DeLorme Street Atlas correctly, Tunis is just barely in Shenandoah County on the south side. It appears to be located along Runion Creek on the west side of Supin Lick Mountain. I doubt that it is much of a village but I have never been there. From Rockingham Co., you can get there by going northwest from Broadway, on highway 259 (following the North Fork of the Shenandoah River), through Cootes Store to the Chimney Rock Legion Post - which is where Runion Creek empties into the river.. Turn right (north) at the chimney rock and follow the road along Runion Creek until it forks at the south end of Supin Lick Mountain, then take the left (west) fork and follow that to Tunis. Just north of Tunis is an airfield called Sager Field. If you continue along that road, it looks like the 1st real town is Orkney Springs. It is possible that Tunis might be in Rockingham County. I believe that Tunis is a Holland Dutch surname and I am curious as to whom it was named after.
