Abt 1736 |
'Greenwood Mills', Winchester City, Virginia [3] |
About 1736 they moved to the Joist Hite settlement in the Opeckon Creek area in the Shenandoah Valley, near Kernstown in Orange (now Frederick) Co., Virginia. Their home was at the head of the Opeckon, where it embraced the principal springs that formed a stream of sufficient power to run his mill. He purchased 1600 acres of land that year from Joist Hite and Lord Fairfax whose grants were divided along the Opeckon. Three estates were settled by the families, "Greenwood", "Long Meadows," and "Rose Hill." As of 1926 the latter two were still in the hands of family.
