Neil McDonald From: "Joan Horsley" Thank you. Yesterday I found the Michie Tavern in Charlottesville claims to have been built about 1784 in Earlysville (Albemarle Co.) on part of a stagecoach route from Charlottesville to Fredericksburg. Do you (or anyone) know of such a route that early? --Joan ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
