Who knew that Graham Claytor (Claytor Lake) was a 1906 graduate of Virginia
Agricultural & Mechanical College (now Virginia Tech) & he supervised the construction of the Claytor Damn in 1939?
Also, didn't know that William Christian (Christianburg VA) once had a home in Dunkards Bottom that now is buried by Claytor Lake. William Christian was Patrick Henry's brother-in-law.
