My great great great grandfather, John Nalle, together with some of his brothers and my great great great great grandfather, Daniel Brown, and others whom I do not know, came from near Tappahannock, Essex County, about 1720-22, and settled in the general area between Griffinsburg, Boston and Slate Mills. John Nalle settled on Devil’s Run, near where it runs into the Hazel River. The first jrant of land to John Nalle was in 1731 and was for 400 acres on Devil’s Run where it enters the Gourd Vine (now Hazel) River. Many other grants were later issued to John Nalle and his brothers in that area of what is now Culpeper and Rappahannock bounties until they had iccumulated large holdings. Part )f that land is still held by lescendants of John Nalle ihrough the female line Durants).
