(signed) Just Hite. Wit: Wm. Dobbin, Robt. Allan, John Harrow. 27 May 1742. Acknowledged by Jost Hite. [Orange County Virginia Deed Book 5, Dorman, pg. 9]. (Note: this appears to be the 100-acre tract acquired by David Vance on the Opeckon, as described below in the Information section, although it is 9 years earlier than described there. This David Vance would have just been reaching adulthood, so his acquisition of land in 1742 would have been possible, although there is a chance that this acquisition was actually by his father, David Vance, Sr.).
