Do you know of Tinker's Knob ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Tinker's Knob. 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 Tinker's Knob.<1>

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