Early Land Acquisition in Augusta County, VA
Moses O'Friel's land (Outside Beverley Manor NW, 560 acres, surveyed on 25 November 1767) as shown on the map meticulously drawn by J.R. Hildebrand, cartographer. This map is copyrighted©, used by permission of John Hildebrand, son of J.R. Hildebrand, April, 2009. (Note: this is a likely approximate location of Moses O'Friel's 560-acre tract, likely close to Morris O'Friel's tract just inside the Beverley Manor line. The Walter Trimble listed in the land survey below was the son of John Trimble (listed in records below), who acquired the 449-acre tract in Beverley Manor, shown on the map above, again indicating Moses O'Friel's tract was certainly nearby. The relationship to Morris O'Friel has not been determined, although they were certainly related in some way).
