Message Board Post:
Is there any one you know who would be willing to enter the metes and bounds of the
Turnip Creek deeds into mapping software and begin to slowly make a map of Turnip Creek
settlers. I suspect that William Todd who bought land on Turnip Creek in Bedford Co was
very close to the headwaters of Dog Creek where his son Low Todd settled. And I suspect
that the Joseph Henderson who owned land in Charlotte Co on Turnnip Creek lived not far
from the Todds since his ddaughter seems to have married a Todd between 1763 and 1784 and
probably by 1772.
There was also a William Todd who was mentioned in a Charlotte Co court case for the Bates
family and I suspect the Bates family lived somewhere in this area though maybe closer to
Falling River.
A Map would shed so much light on these interrelationships.
