HISTORY
Judge Archibald Stuart and John H. Peyton, Attorney at Law came to Huntersville, Pocahontas County to hold court in the fall of the year 1823.
The Judge and Mr.Peyton remained five days at Huntersville, closely engaged with business of the court, which they found most profitable. Pocahontas, a fine grazing county, the support of the people mainly derived from their flocks of cattle, horses and sheep, which they drove to market. There was little money, every want was supplied by the happy county they possessed and of which they were so fond as the Swiss are of their mountains.
A beautiful country of diversified, breathtaking scenery which keeps the attention alive and outward eye delighted.
On Saturday, September 6, 1823 the Judge and Mr. Peyton visited Sandy Lockridge, where they were royally entertained.
The Lockridge dwelling had plenty of room and much fine furniture, Mr. Peyton relates. They arrived home on Jackson River in sound health and excellent spirits from the long trip to Huntersville, Pocahontas County, “West, by the Grace of God, Virginia.” A. P. Hunter
