| Thanks to Eugene Scheel and his wonderful map which gives us such a
wonderful beginning place to analyze the areas where our ancestors once
made a living, fell in love, farmed the land and lived their lives. Carter's Run actually begins at the area that has been called the Boundary of the Free State. The small stream runs past the: Shumate's Graveyard crosses Rt 674 at Utterback's corner running north Carter's run then turns south past Strother's Mill where Strother's Branch and Mountjoy join Carter's Run. Morgantown near Mt Nebo Church Carter's Run Valley or Route 691 goes North at Marshall, South to a small place which the map calls Ogie. Route 691 continues north and south; however, for the purposes of review Carter's Run Valley goes from Marshall to Ogdie and Route 689. Carter's Run a small stream sometimes runs through Carter's Run Valley and sometimes Carter's Run is a few miles to the east. After passing Ogdie and Will Moffett Road Carter's Run meanders around sometimes near 689 and sometimes several miles away in the country side. Carter's Run then crosses the Mary Stuphin Road Route 681. Carter's Run continues its winding path until it enters the Rappahannock River at Waterloo, Virginia Moffett-Cockrell Cemetery Witnesses to his will are Anderson Cockrell, Jesse Moffett, William Holten, Daniel ... 1768 Hezekiah Cockerill born Fauquier Co.Va died 1852 Fauquier Co Va.
