Sugar Tree Knob is located a mile or so from the western foot of the wets spur of Short Mountain. On the narrow ridge between the knob and the mountain is a church, once called Acre Church, but now called Sugar Tree Knob Church. (Debbie's Notes)With the local residents, in saying Sugar Tree Knob area; the Gassaway area is about the same thing they are two different places, but down the same road.
