To the Editor:
In your Oct. 5, edition of the Rappahannock News, it was interesting to note Richard Settle’s comment made during the Jerico Road/Poe’s Road debate. Mr. Settle said, in part, “...the Settles should have roads around Rock Mills named for them because they had owned all the land around Rock Mills and had three family cemeteries there.”
I don’t doubt Mr. Settle’s assertion that he has lived in the county all of his life, but I do dispute that there has ever been a time when the Settle family owned “all” or even a majority of the property in the area of Rock Mills. When researching the history of this part of Rappahannock County, the names Norman, Cannom, Cooksey, Wharton, Slaughter, and Griffith (among others) are very prominent. Of course, everyone familiar with the area for the past forty years, knows that Edward Pawley owned a substantial part of what is known as Rock Mills.
When referencing history, it is important that accuracy be recognized and emphasized.
