James Lusk's land as shown on the Beverley Manor Map, 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: this shows the adjoining tract of his father, Nathan Lusk, which is apparently mis-labeled (based upon records of adjoining settlers)as "James Lusk") The adjoining tract acquired by James Lusk's father, Nathan Lusk prior to 1746 most likely passed onto James after his father's death in 1748, which may explain why it is labeled with James Lusk's name.

Acquisition of Land from Chalkley's:

  • Page 280.--Benjamin Borden to James Lusk, 170 acres of 92100. Corner Samuel McCutchan. Beverley Manor line. (Note: this transaction is not dated, but appears to be in 1749, based upon the Hildebrand Map).

Disposition of Land from Chalkley's:

  • Page 16.--21st March, 1754. James Lusk and Eleanor to James Trotter. Cor. Samuel McCutcheon, Beverley Manor line, conveyed by Borden to James 16th August, 1749.
