I have an Abigail Norton born Whitehall, Breckinridge Co. KY. I can't find it
on the map. Does anyone know where it is located? Maybe it is a slang term
for an area, or the name of an estate. One source believes it might in Norton
Valley, another term not found on the map but locals know the area. I wish
maps could include such known areas!
I might also mention sources show my folks in the Sugar Tree Run area. While
the map does show a Sugar Tree Run (looks like a creek on the map) where is
the "area"? the entire length of the creek? How does one narrow down such a
description? Right this second I can't remember if it was the Claycombs, the
Nortons, Pollocks, or Chappells that the source was referring too. Why is a
creek called a RUN? Where did it get its name? And don't tell me some indian
saw a sugar tree "run", thus the name! "-) (I used to fall for that stuff!)
