The records of Bedford County, Virginia show that on 6 June 1779, Littleberry Epperson purchased from William Marshall two hundred acres of land on the North side of Stanton River at the mouth of Whipping Creek. A few days later, on 22 June, he purchased an additional one hundred acres of land on both sides of Whipping Creek from William Mason. This 300 acres seems to have been the extent of his land holdings in Bedford County. (Bedford County, Virginia Deed Book No. 6, page 221) When Campbell County was formed from Bedford, Charlotte, and parts of other counties in 1781, the lands of Littleberry Epperson fell into Campbell County.228
