I've looked at this once and ruled it out as ours since it was Turkey Cove. Turkey Cove is now called Seminary. It is near the Lee/Wise Co lines. What few records I have found our James was living near Jonesville. In his day the distance would have been quite a haul. Everything posted to this site goes to the Washington Co VA mailing list. A nice gentleman named Bob Ford has responded with more information, it looks as this is a land grant from 1784, I do not think our James is old enough to have been a property owner in 1784; from census records I have him being born about that time. Sorry, I hoped you had hit on something.-Deb
