     If you lived out near Dime Road or Crooked Creek in the early
     1800's, with no police squad or army available, your law  and
     order may have been the Crooked Creek Rangers. A group of 50-
     60  men,  with ties to the Revolutionary War, they  formed  a
     small militia that served the area for several years.
