In Thomas H. Biggs's GEOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL NAMES IN VIRGINIA (1974),
56, I find that the name Liberty has also been applied to places in Caroline
County, Halifax County, Highland County, Tazewell County, and even in the
city of Lexington; and that there was a Liberty Fork in Caroline County,
Liberty Furnace in Shenandoah County, Liberty Hall in King William County,
Liberty Hill in Carroll County, and Liberty Hills in Orange County.

The Liberty that became Bedford is the best known.

Someone using our archival materials asked about "Liberty, Virginia".
Apparently it was a town or encampment during the 1860's.  She left only a
note so I was unable to flesh out her query.  Is anyone on the list familiar
with such a place?
