Hi

I am carrying out some research into the early land patents of my family in Virginia and have come across records mentioning grants on the south side of Winter Harbor beginning at William Beartines (or Bearlines depending on the record). I have looked at maps of Winter Harbor but there are a great many creeks all not named. Does anyone have a local knowledge of a creek of this name or a changed form of this name ?
Many thanks
