Gottlieb Zink of Shenandoah County, Virginia Gottlieb Zin(c)k (born about 1730) married Barbara Funkhouser in Frederick (now Shenandoah) County, Virginia, about 1752 (see web page by Donn C. Neal). Barbara was the daughter of Jacob Funkhouser, who owned property on Funk's Mill Creek (now Tumbling Run). This is a study of the area where Gottlieb lived on Stony Creek.
Linked below are tract maps for the northerly areas of Stony Creek. There are 77 tracts of land plotted on the maps, with grant dates from 1754 to 1851. This is not an exhaustive study of the tracts granted in this area during the stated period. However, the majority of tracts granted prior to 1800 are plotted. The data in the tables below should be used in conjunction with the maps for interpretation.

NW = No Warrant In Assignee column, if there was more than one, the names are separated by commas (e.g. John Hoy, Christopher Coffield, Elias Coffield, Peter Coffield should be understood as: Henry Messersmith was the assignee of John Hoy, who was the assignee of Christopher Coffield, who was the assignee of Elias Coffield, who was the assignee of Peter Coffield). Names separated by ampersand (&) indicate multiple owners at the same time. Assignee Names, Warrant Dates and Survey Dates were obtained from Peggy Shomo Joyner's books "Abstracts of Virginia's Northern Neck Warrants & Surveys" or original documents (surveys and grants). Grantee Names and Grant Dates were obtained from the original grants (digital images available online at the Library of Virginia). The names are spelled as they are in the grants. As is commonly known, the spellings of names, especially last names, varied considerably between documents for some individuals. Thus, a single individual may be represented by a number of spelling variations. The author of these maps did not attempt to sort out individuals, but rather has presented names as they appear in the grants. In some instances, alternative spellings are supplied in parentheses. |
Corner and Line Key for Surveys on Stony Creek The surveys list trees and geographical features for most corners. In addition, some information may be supplied for a line (e.g. "crossing a creek" or "running along a ridge"). A number located near a corner is a label for the nearby corner. A number near a line, but not near a corner, is a label for that line. If a line is said to cross a creek, usually the exact location of crossing is not indicated. Thus, a number label for a line should not be interpreted to mark the exact location of a described feature on the line, unless specified in the key below.. One must be careful in matching corners of adjacent tracts by the tree descriptions because they can vary between surveys for the same point. The geographical descriptions may vary as well (for example, in one survey a corner may be described as "on a hill" and in another survey the same corner may be described as "on a ridge"). In any case, the descriptions of trees are of no value when attempting to apply survey lines to a modern topographical map. However, the geographical descriptions can be useful. For this reason, the geographical descriptions for corners and lines are included in the maps, marked by number labels. Use the key below to translate the numbers to descriptions. One must keep in mind that some features may change over a period of time, particularly the course of a river or creek, when running through relatively flat terrain. Thus, we must not demand that a 250-year-old survey describe all points of geographical interest at the locations that match a modern topographical map. In attempting to apply these old surveys to the terrain, as visualized on a topographic map, I have tried my best to position the surveys near their true locations. However hard one may try, this is not possible to a high degree of accuracy, due to a lack of sufficient data. For those who need to know the exact location of a tract, these maps will fail in most cases. Nevertheless, they probably provide a relatively close approximation to the true locations in many cases. And perhaps more importantly, they provide information on the neighbors of many families. |
