Or, Subtitled: Turnpikes, Creeks, and Neighborhood Battles over the Route of a Road

After I posted yesterday about Agnes Whitlock (1793-1858), daughter of Charles Whitlock and Mary Davies of Wythe County, Virginia, and her husband John Grayson (1787-1874), I ran across two documents that provide interesting information about John. I’d like to share these now as an addendum to yesterday’s posting. Both are petitions presented the Virginia legislature mentioning John and his residence on Walker’s Creek in Wythe (later Bland) County, Virginia. These petitions are archived and made digitally available at Library of Virginia’s Virginia Memory website.
