Pauline,

Appomattox Courthouse is CURRENTLY in Appomattox County, not too far
from the Appomattox National Historic Park (where the McLean house is
located and where Lee surrendered to Grant).

However, Appomattox County wasn't created until 1845. So...everything
that is currently in Appomattox County was previously in other
counties. County boundaries seem to have changed a lot in late 1700's
and early to mid 1800's. What you need to do is find a map that shows
the county boundaries for Virginia for 1777 or thereabouts.

If I can find one, I'll let you know.
