As you know - Saylor's Creek {Prince Edward Co., VA} empties into the Appomattox River from the south.
It has had many spellings over the years and in 1879 the
Jacob's Official Map of Prince Edward named the creek:
Saylor's
In 1960 the US Board of Geographic Names:
Named it Sayler's Creek.
For The Record:William FARLEY {brother of Peter FARLEY - my previous posting}
lived on Flatt Creek in Amelia Co., VA {which also empties into the Appomattox River} just east over the "Hollow"
from Sayler's Creek in Prince Edward.
Maybe 5 to 10 miles apart!?!
See:The State of Virginia from the best Authorities 1796, Published by John Reid - New York.
I'm sure the Prince Edward County Courthouse will be able to pinpoint the WALTHALL Property Location for you
and in so doing find the FARLEY Brother's Locations as well.
