Interesting! Did you gather the records from court house/county recorder files or some other source? I’m pretty familiar with the process of land distribution in Ohio and the Old Northwest, but know that things were quite different in Virginia. So, I’m curious as to the best source for tracking down original distribution records. Thanks — and, by the way, I appreciate your work. Mark
