    1. RE: [WVHAMPSH-L] Where is Mill Creek?
    2. Wilmer L. Kerns
    3. As far as I know, there is (and always was) only one Mill Creek that empties into the South Branch of the Potomac in present Hampshire County (I believe those were Tootsie's original assumptions). There were other streams with Mill in the name, but not "Creeks.". We can eliminate the Runs, and the Mill streams that flow into other rivers, such as Mill Branch of the Cacapon River, which by the way was named after the Mill family rather than a flour mill.

    3. The original name for South Branch was French or French's Station (1700 to 1950-ish), named after Wm FRENCH. It is at the end of French's Station Rd (partly called Ruggles Rd) coming out of Levels. After Wm FRENCH died, his wife married Capt James MURPHY who later became the first overseer of Romney. Sometime after the town died -- as the trains no longer stopped and the post ofc closed. The current markings -- road names, post ofc, maps, train depot -- still say French's Station, but a few maps say South Branch. South Branch is a misnomer, because it isn't even on the South Branch. It is on the Potomac a long hike east of the South Branch down the railroad.

Tootsie and all, (others may be interested.) Tootsie, when we were discussing the little abandoned community of South Branch at this mailing list about 2-3 years ago I thought your map that showed this town was the one identified with "Hampshire County West Virginia" in large letters in the bottom left corner, and a map "Legend" at the upper left corner. If so, this map indeed shows the 'major' creeks, streams and runs (by using a magnifying glass.) And, like Jane says, the Mill Creek where she describes it is the only one I have seen on any map. This Mill Creek runs parallel to the South Branch River and not far from it, in the southwest corner of the county. Can you read the name of the mountain (in the deed) to get a better handle on this? The north end of Mill Creek Mountain starts about 5 miles north of Romney and ends several miles southwest of Romney. This mountain has Mill Creek running along its west side (below Romney) and South Branch (river) along its east side, both of course running northward. This Mill Creek is a rather large stream that generally runs alongside Rt. 28. I am *guessing* the location of the land described in your deed record was somewhere "on this mountain" between "South Branch (River) and Mill Creek." I don't understand your word "Rush" in the deed context. Go to the following sites if you wish to view maps of Mill Creek and study it more, or look around the little town of South Branch: http://terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?t=2&s=15&x=107&y=679&z=17&w=2 http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.3427&lon=-78.792&datum=nad83 (For the second site, click on 'Large' for map size, then click 'Update Map.') You can zoom in or out and move around to see where Mill Creek runs, and much more, zoomed in or out as you like. At the 'terraserver' site you can also elect to view an aerial photo of the map-view by clicking on the link in the left-hand margin. The photo-views can also be changed in resolution and size, even to make out the small roadways in the city cemetery at Romney, just for one example. It's not nearly as good as visiting the area but these maps and photos provide a fairly good understanding of the terrain. The maps also identify the location of many small family cemeteries at closer views. Names of the various ridges, knobs and runs also can help identify where various families lived at one time. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    3. The Mill Creek in Burlington runs down from Knobley to Patterson's Creek in Burlington. The Mill Creek in Romney runs from Junction through Mill Creek Mtn to South Branch at Romney. And the Old Fields is actually at Purgittville through Mill Creek Mtn to about Pancake into South Branch. I think this one is called Mill Creek. And Mill Creek at Gerardstown. And Mill Run at Johnson. ....and many more... -dan -----Original Message----- From: Genie [mailto:genielists@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 12:19 AM To: WVHAMPSH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WVHAMPSH-L] Where is Mill Creek?

    3. Does anyone have a subscription to Ancestry.com's periodical pages or have any way to check on possible listings they have for Sidney B. Sale? I'm guessing that what they have listed for possible matches might be obits? Sidney B. Sale died 25 Feb 1916 in Star Tannery, Frederick County, VA. Thanks, Zorina
