IMGP0337.jpg133 viewsWithin this photo frame probably lies the old home place of James Stodghill-- the father of Elizabeth Stodghill, the second wife of old John Hash. It was here that old John Hash met and married Elizabeth. Land records place the location at Parker Mountain (hill in photo) and includes the waters of Swift Run Creek which is just out of sight to the left of this photo. Of course, this lies in present Orange County just east of Swift Run Gap which is in the Blue Ridge section of the Appalachian Mountains in northern Virginia.
