• 1753 — AUGUSTA COUNTY, VA, Historical context; “Back Creek, Mason’s Creek and Fort Lewis Community—The Settlement of Back Creek and Bent Mountain: When John Mason came to Back Creek of Roanoke in 1750 his neighbors were his brother-in-law, James McKeachey, and Robert Poage. John Mathews, John Mills, James McGavock, William Carvin, William Lewis, Alexander Boyd and Alexander Baine were early land-owners, but not settlers. The Back Creek neighborhood was an extension or suburb of the Great Lick settlement. The communication was naturally over the trails leading south by Back Mountain and over Bent Mountain to the Southwest. The homesteaders along the Carolina Road were grouped in Captain Neely’s Company [1783], while those farther up the creek about the Forks were in Captain Lewis’s Company with those of Mason’s Creek. Those of the Bent Mountain region were under Captain Martin.” (Kegley, 553). Historic Pathways
