• Blaze Spur Above Shipps Muster Ground

  McCraw and Ahart families first were settled in Surry County, North Carolina in the late 1700s. They later moved together across the state line into Carroll County, Virginia. Most of the research was in Carroll County, Virginia for most of the people were settlers there. The Felts ancestor Ira Felts of Carroll County married Sintha Norman of Round Peak in Surry County, North Carolina below the Blaze Spur. The book Fisher's River Scenes by Harden "Skitt" Taliaferro in 1857 identifies the Blaze Spur as a marked trail between Carroll and Grayson Counties in Virginia down to Round Peak in Surry County, North Carolina. The Blaze Spur is the spur off the Blue Ridge Mountain east of Fisher Peak. Wilma Jarrell Hiatt was also interested in the Round Peak history and furnished transcripts of public records that she had researched. Included are people mentioned in Fisher's River Scenes and church records. Other sources are identified in the text. This is the most famous area in all of Surry County, North Carolina.
