Notes from J. Marshall Neathery, June 1999

Cattail Creek - Headwaters begin on the old Thomas Nethery Lands (now Breezy Crest Farm, owned by Mrs. Virgina Newton), one-half mile north of Va. Highway 47 and three miles northeast of the town of Chase City. This watercourse runs north through the old Nethery lands to the South Fork of the Meherrin River (at the Lunenburg County line). 1765 or earlier.

Cox's Cart Path - Beginning at Col. John Cox's place near South Fork of the Meherrin River, travelling southeastwardly across the lands of Edward Neal, Thomas Nethery, Sr., Samuel Pettus, and others, connecting with the road to Boydton. Note: Not to be confused with Cox's Old Road that began in Mecklenburg and travelled northeastwardly to Petersburg. 1775 earliest known.
