Mt. Zion Church is a "rumored" location of "BT"...

 

[Rebel - KGC]

On the North side of Rt. 460 WEST (towards Montvale) on a hill, the church grave yard was a "site of interest"; V & T Rail Road came through and portions of the graveyard was moved/shifted. NO "BT" was found; hope this "triggers" YOUR memory...

In THAT area, it would be SOUTH Goose Creek; adjacent to Porter Mountain.

That is about correct; OLD maps of Lynchburg, Va. indicate the OLD Streets like that; it is factual in that Robert MORRIS (Mayor of Lynchburg, Va. - 1813) DID buy land in that area; built a HUGE house, used "extra" rooms to "BOARD" ppl (like TJB); He was VERY active in local "events"... AND! He & his wife DID "entertain" ppl, being well-loved. etc. THANKS for sharing!

Will review my map of OLD Lynchburg, Va. John Lynch once owned ALL that land (he was founder of Lynchburg); it IS neat to be able to walk ALL over this area & "feel" the HISTORY!

 

[Rebel - KGC]

Went to Lynchburg, Va. Library this past hour to review maps of OLD Lynchburg, Va. & books on OLD Lynchburg, Va.; something of "interest" is Robert MORRIS... becomes Robert MORRIS'S place. It then becomes MORRISS! HA!

 

[Rebel - KGC]

A simple apostrophe ('... "possessive case"), makes a difference; w/o it... MORRISS!

THIS is definitely Albemarle County, Va. (@ 1899); Garth Mill in on Rt. 29, NORTH of Charlottesville, Col. R.T.W. Duke DID have a place called SUNNYSIDE; "Early" is now Earlysville... been there! I will do R & I on "Beale", Va. in Albemarle County.
THANKS, again... "cw"!

Can't say it is about "BT"; keep us informed. MAY be home-place of a family with last name of "Beale"... will do R & I on Beale Families of Albemarle County, Virginia.

DANG! LOTS of Beales in Albemarle County, Va.! SOME families connected to UVA (Mr. Jefferson's University)!

AND! CSA Sentinel W.T. Wright is stated to be buried in Charlottesville, Va.; Cemetery on 5th Street. He was "watching over" the "BT" in Upper Goose Creek Valley, Bedford County, Va.
