Do you know of Moorman's River ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Moorman's River. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Moorman's River.<1>

Our sources for Moorman's River (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Moorman's River other than they indicate that Moorman's River would be found somewhere in Albemarle County, Virginia.
