I wondered whether the headwaters of NC's Cutawhiskie (et al) Creek were 
possibly located across the boundary line in Virginia, which would place it 
in old Nansemond Co. VA.  But no, its headwaters are just east of the town 
of Woodland so this creek runs primarily west to east and lies entirely in 
Hertford Co. NC......unless the NC-VA boundary line dispute or beliefs 
affected this during colonial times:

George,

In this time period there are numerous NC references (with variants) to the 
present Cutawhiskie Creek in present Hertford Co., NC.

The variants include (among others): Catawaskee, Catasasky, Catawatskee 
Meadow; Catawatsker Meadow, Catawitskee Meadow, Catawitsky Meadow.

See Margaret M. Hofmann's Province of North Carolina 1663-1729 Abstracts of 
Land Patents.

spellings of the same place.  I appreciate any  and all help you can give.
