034 | A high hill of uncultivated land. Quite to be 1000 feet above sea level, derives its name from having beacon on it in 1745 when the country was in a rebellious state, under Prince Charley. Beacon fires were kindled at a moment of invasion to announce to the District that a foe was approaching, the smoke gave the signal by day, and the blaze by night hence Blaze Hill is the correct mode. |
