After looking at Sara Patton's list of South Branch Manor landowners at http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvhardy/sbmanor.htm (thanks, Neil!), I found a Thomas "Arby" along Mudlick Run. Does anyone recognize this guy? Could he have been an Arbaugh? And where is Mudlick Run? Jeanne

There are 25 Mudlick or Mud Lick Runs listed in WV by the USGS. One is near Shinnston in Harrison Co. and one, on the Old Fields 7.5 map, is just north of Moorefield, several miles south of Romney. (It is in both Hampshire and Hardy Cos.) See the USGS's GNIS site for more: http://geonames.usgs.gov/gnishome.html Use the Show Feature Location option on results page to see maps. Your guess re Arby=Arbaugh sounds good - probably just an "alternate" spelling - but you probably need more info. There are Arbaughs in the early censuses of VA (Rockingham Co., Jefferson Co., e.g. in 1810). --- Jeanne Crews <jeannecrews@comcast.net> wrote: > After looking at Sara Patton's list of South > Branch Manor landowners at > http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvhardy/sbmanor.htm > (thanks, Neil!), I found a > Thomas "Arby" along Mudlick Run.

I forgot to mention that Moorefield is just north of Petersburg which these landowners were said to be living near, per http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvhardy/sbmanor.htm __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
