[Dear Editor,]

My grandfather DeLancey was from up near Floyd. Also some Webb are related.

I would like to know where the mouth of Pigg River is located. My grandfather grew up near there and I would like to visit there. I now live only a few miles from the Pigg River in Pittsylvania Co. near Smith Mountain Lake.

Thank you, I would greatly appreciate it.
