Where did John and Milly Hensley live in Pittsylvania County, Virginia?

I was explaining to Ronald where John and Milly Hensley lived in Pittsylvania County and decided to put it on the blog because I think I never added it to the other blog post.  From my data base:

10 Dec 1785 between John Henslee of Pittsylvania and Harmon Cook of Pittsylvania 50 pounds, a parcel of land containing by estimation 110 acres on both sides of Potter’s Creek.  Signed John Henslee….no witnesses.



We know from our trip to Pittsylvania County with the Morrison h2 group that Patrick Morrison's land is located on the below map at the spot where Frying Pan Creek crosses route 40.  Potter Creek also crosses Route 40 a very short distance west from where Patrick Morrison lived.,  You will see the red marker below showing Potter Creek.  It begins a short distance south of Route 40 and flows northwest until it flows into the Pigg River. .....The land that John Hensley is selling could be any where along the Creek...but no matter where he is a close neighbor of Patrick.
