I guess that I have been lucky because all of my husbands ancestors were where they said they were. True, that some people died and the lands changed hands between the making of the map and the 1850 census. His ancestors have held the land since the beginning and still have some of it in the family. What I am looking for in the Pendleton map is the area they called Shaws Fork. I am interested in finding the approximate location of the land owned by Isaac Johns. Suppose to have been about 850 acres. It was told to us that my husband's gggrandfather lived on the Johns land and that part of it later was taken to make Highland Co. Have you got any idea where this is? Any help would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Rexroad" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 6:59 PM Subject: [WVPENDLE] Map > Susan - > > Be careful with that old map of Highland County.

Shaw Fork is situated in the northeastern part of Highland County. It is between the Cowpasture River on the west and Highland-Augusta County border on the east. It flows southwesterly and joins the Cowpasture River at the small town of Liberty, which is located two or three miles below Highway 250. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Baldwin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 7:03 PM Subject: Re: [WVPENDLE] Map > What I am looking for in the Pendleton map is the area they called Shaws Fork.
