   From Jacob Stover to Ludwick Stone to Henry Heastand
   
   According to Harry M. Strickler, Jacob Stover delayed in conveying 1000 acres of the Massanutten patent to Ludwig Stone. But when the conveyance was made on March 22, 1737, Stover conveyed 1050 acres--800 acres to Philip Long in Long Bend (near Alma, VA) and 205 acres to Long in East Bixler's Ferry Bend (about 10 miles north of and down river from Long Bend). But what about the additional 45 acres that was conveyed from Stover to Long that is not accounted for in the 800 acres and "205" acres tracts?
