George Hume's land (Beverley Manor SW, 375 acres, 1739) 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: it is doubful if George Hume ever spent much time in Augusta County. His duties surveying land in nearby Orange and Culpeper Counties no doubt occupied much of his time. This grant from William Beverley was most likely for speculative purposes.
