In the family William Oakes is known as ?Old Bill,? and he was the father of Joab Oakes. He held lands lying on the east side of Snow Creek and the Kirby family held lands on the west side-part of their 3100 acres in Pittsylvania County. The Kirbys, too, were first tithables, John Kirby I died in 1772, and it was his son, John Kirby, Jr., who served in the Revolution. Bill?s son Moses married Elizabeth Hudson Kirby, who had inherited considerable land from her father, so the lands on both sides on Snow Creek became Oakes-Kirby property where the creek emptied into Pigg River. There was an Indian camp ground on this spot. The Indians were so tough, the family says that the Kirbys and the Oakses found difficulty in establishing homes. Family tradition says that a Kirby girl was scalped at Snow Creek within sight of her home. The road from Museville to Rocky Mount crosses Snow Creek by bridge. It was formerly Kirby?s Ford.
