I enjoyed the wolf story. Would you - or anyone else on the list - have any information on when one Adam Hope and his wife Rachel Kinkead came to the Abingdon area? He migrated down from Chester Co., PA, possibly with a group of other Scots-Irish Presbyterians. At one time, I think he was on or near a place called Wolf Creek. I know he was in the area by the time of the Revolution. --- "G.

About Wolf Creek: Wolf Creek begins at the springs near where Rev. Charles Cummings lived northwest of Wolf Hills ( Abingdon) This is on the south side of Walkers Little Mountain. This creek furnished water power for two mills west of Abingdon for many years.. It runs through the Great Knobs to the South fork Holston River, passing through or very near, the Hope farm on the River..Most of the Hope farm has passed into hands of developers and is now valuable Lake front property. South Holston Lake is on South Fork Holston River. One of my cousins became heir to a parcel of the Hope farm a few years ago because he had worked many years on the farm.. G.
