Apparently the first deed of lands in Botetourt County acquired by him was from William and Elizabeth Ward, dated July 12, 1785, conveying one tract of 186 acres “lying on both sides of Back Creek, adjoining Elliott’s (now Dick’s)” which Ward had acquired from Thompson and Preston, Executors of James Patton, deceased, in 1773. Another tract of 220 acres on Back Creek, corner of land “once the property of Luke M. Therry,”patented to William Preston, June 15, 1773, purchased from James Moore and Allen Gulliford 200 acres on Back Creek, which had been patented to James Moore and James Anderson in 1794.
