Acquisition of Land from Chalkley's:
- Page 66.--8th September, 1762. Mary Wood, of Frederick, James and Moses Green, of Culpeper, to George Dill, £60, 348 acres on South Branch of Potomac, part of 800 acres patented to Robert Green, 12th July, 1746. (Note: inspection of the original deed appears to show that the "c" and "e" could be closely looped causing Lyman Chalkley to list "Dill" instead of "Dice" in his transcription, according to the following Ancestry.com post. The Processioning List of 1767/68 listed below confirms that George Dice DID acquire land in the South Branch area, confirming this acquisition).
- 16 March 1771 - George Dyce acquired 242 acres "on the north side of the south Branch of Potomaok known by the name of Richardson’s place". [Source: Land Office Patents No. 39, 1770-1771, p. 364 (Reel 39).]
