  Jos. Pine. road? Short for Joshua?

  There were some high up Joshuas in the day, maybe it was called that then, but I'd go with Jos, rather than guess?

  Jos. could be short for Joseph, like Wm. for William, and isn't there one for George? (Hey, this is practically legible!)

  OK, people seem agreed it's "Jos." What's the next word, then? Please imagine the second, subsidiary, question isn't there.

  If I found the right Snowden on Google maps, there are only hills to the west, across the river, and a road to the north-west, with no roads

  I see Jos. Ride. road - 2 miles west of (scribble) Snowden, Amhearst County.

  The scribble could be something scratched out, or Mt or Dr. I'm going with scratched out, as it looks a lot like a J for Jos.

  Jos. Pine? Could make a case for that, too.
