Do you know of Shuff ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Shuff. 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 Shuff.<1>

Our sources for Shuff (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 Shuff other than they indicate that Shuff would be found somewhere in Patrick County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1885 and closed  in 1924.
