Well, Ensign (Thomas?) Savage is an old ESVA character. Hangers would
certainly have been Hungar's, possibly creek, but not sure where this would
be in present-day place names. Of course 3700 acres - presumably - just
stab your finger at the map and you'll hit it.

There is a Hungars Neck on the ESVA, is there not?
