      the planet LUNA. He apparently owned slaves. In the Pittsylvania County, VA death records there is a record of a slave named Eliza Rorer, owned by Rudolph, who died of cancer at age 39 in June 1861. Rorer's Harpen Creek Mill Rudolph Rorer received title to this forty-one acres as a gift. The Rorers were millers and Abraham Sr. and Abraham Jr. both owned sawmills in the county. The elder was a son-in-law of Harmon Cook, who owned at least two mills. Cook built one of these on Tomahawk Creek, and the other he bought from George Jefferson on Turkey Cock Creek.
