  1. It is frequently said in various sources that in 1666 Hubert Petty and wife Rebecca are purchasing land. (Details of this deed are needed.) Source:Virginia Colonial Abstracts, p. 1:154 has a deed, dated 9 Sep 1665, where Abraham Bush of Lancaster County sells 150 acres to Hubert Patey, Rebecca not mentioned. Ibid, p. 2:47, Rebecca signed with Hubert selling this land 7 Mar 1667/8. The last mentioned deed is the first I can find with Rebecca's name on it. (Same statement by pettygenealogy.com: "Hubert Patey first appeared in the deed of Lancaster Co., Virginia, in 1665, when he purchased 150 acres of land on Marraticoe Creek from Abraham Bush. His wife Rebecca first appears when she co-signed a deed with Hubert selling one half of their property in 1667.") Full transcripts are probably needed to see if Rebecca is implied to be Hubert's wife in 1665 when he purchased, or not until 1667/8 when he sold.
