Mr. Murray, it was never anyone's intent (from the messages I saw) to either
insult you or make a big deal about whether Deep River was a stream or a
river or for that matter what any body of water was called.
Having grown up in Randolph County and been in and on and beside Deep river
more times than I can recall, I always found the name DEEP to seem a bit of
an overstatement of the river itself. <G>

Stick around and keep asking questions and giving answers. This is a nice
site with nice people with good intent.

Mike

It was all ridiculous, Allen. Worry no more. What earthly difference can it
possibly make what a stream is called?
One person's creek or branch can easily be another person's river.
This is supposed to be about genealogy.

Please come back any time -
