Note: "Catherine (Jane Hoodenpyl Norwood) inherited her home place,
called the Norwood Farm, from her father Peter Hoodenpyl. It was
located about 1 mile west of Pikeville. Good land. Peter Hoodenpyl built
roads in the early 1800's in Bledsoe County and across the mountains.
They were called 'turnpikes' or toll roads."

Washington Co. VA for a year, then went to Jefferson Co. TN where he remained for 11 years,
