EUGENE MCINTURFF contributed all of the information on this page. Thank you, Eugene!
When the George Washington National Forest was formed the U.S. Forestry Service researched the earliest Patentees and Grantees of the area. Located in the Forestry Service office in the Post Office building in Harrisonburg, some 20 years ago, I found a series of "plats" with the names of land owners, their acreage and the date of acquisition. I did, for my own benefit, extract this data from the "plats" and wish to share it with others.
