Subject: Ferry Point, now Berkley Norfolk County


I've just run across an unrelated 1818 Obit that refers to Ferry Point as
being in Nansemond County.  The late 1800s Obit of my greatgrandfather's
grandfather, Joshua David Reed says he was born in Berkley and says "then
Ferry Point".  I can see Ferry Point on a map but it is Norfolk County.
Does anyone know the lines of the two counties or if there is just another
Ferry Point?
