Notes

From Rootsweb.com post:


On 24 Apr 1758, Gerard Banks of King George Co., VA purchased 318 acres in Brumfield Parish, Culpeper Co., VA from Richard Bryan and Frances, his wife, both of Brumfield Parish. The purchase cost 34 pounds and was located in the first fork of the Rapidan River on the Wild Hemp Branch, corner to Richard Vawter, Ephraim Rucker, John Stockdale and Maximillian Berryman. Witnesses were Elliott Bohannon, Thos. Stanton and Ephraim Rucker. (Culpeper Co., Virginia Deeds, vol 2, 1755-1762 [Books B-C], Dorman, 1976, quoting Book C, p 177-80) Frances consented to the sale on 17 Oct 1760 (ibid., p 535-6) [The compiler (RHB) has not been able to locate a Wild Hemp Branch, but the 1759 entry [see just below] identifies the location as near the juncture of today's Culpeper, Orange and Madison Cos. where the Robinson and Rapidan Rivers meet.]
