Neil, I have been reading your post s about "old" Augusta County , the South Branch of the Potomac and find them very interesting. My FRIEND family lived in the Paw Paw area, had connections in Oldtown (MD) and lately I have been finding information about a place called Swan Pond. I am not anywhere close to being an authority on the Potomac River but I just wondered, with all your studies of the area, have you come across the name Swan Pond? Thanks, Pat-T
