The view is indeed magnificent! I also tried out if the name could be the Dutch surname Stoutemeijer, but that didn't provide many hits.

I don't know why I don't have a copy of the first deed. It might have been among the documents that were burned during the Civil War. Or I might have missed it when I was searching deeds many years ago. Maybe I need to create a note in OneNote to remind myself to look for it again!

I'm curious...That really is beautiful country!<br /><br />I'm curious. Did the records say how much Fielding paid for the 66 acres along Naked Creek? I suppose it didn't or you would have included that bit of information too.<br /><br />Perhaps he had great success with the 66 acres and thought he could become even more prosperous with the 300 acres. He may have gotten in over his head.Jana Iverson Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687969613629975601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-59921941128589216032013-01-22T14:43:01.103-05:002013-01-22T14:43:01.103-05:00It's getting quite interesting.

What were the economic and political conditions like in the 1840/50s, and what was the infra-structure like?<br /><br />I tried looking up the history of Rockingham County, but that wasn't particularly helpful. The only reference I found to Fielding by way of his son Reverend John.. John seems to have made up for any shortcomings that Fielding may of had.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01378637587289025611noreply@blogger.com
