Land

William Campbell's land (Beverley Manor SW, acreage and date of acquisition not listed) 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: the tract of Patrick Campbell (1,546 acres acquired in 1738) is adjoining William's tract to the southwest).

Acquisition of Land in Augusta County, VA:

• William Campbell appears to have acquired a tract of land in Beverley Manor (as shown in the Hildebrand Map above), adjoining the tract of his father, Patrick Campbell, prior to July 1740. This land is referenced in the Orange County, Virginia Deed records listed below as adjoining the tracts of Robert Brooke and Joseph Reed, but the specific deed for this tract is apparently not in Orange or Augusta County records.
