Has anyone researched the present-day location of Devil's Woodyard
Swamp (also called Woodyard Swamp) in what is now Caroline County?
The work that I have done so far makes me think that Mill Creek, which
joins with the Pamunkey River just east of where US 301 crosses it,
and just west of the Caroline/King William County Line, was called
Woodyard Swamp in the early 18th century. A modern USGS topo map
indicates some swampy areas in the creek valley.
The area that I am looking at is here:
