I own six acres in Grant District a mile or two south of Pisgah. I have read somewhere, probably in the deed, that the property has been described as being on an unnamed tributary of Scott(s) Run which flows into the Cheat, but when the Sheriff sends me a notice of taxes due its simply described as "6 CHEAT HILL."
