Disposition of land in Orange County, Virginia

 

Orange County, VA Deed Book 22. P. 168.

Picking up on the records involving the children of John Carter, above is an extract from the Orange County Virginia Deed Book 22, dated 2 September 1800. In the land sale above, the heirs of John Carter, including my 6th-great-grandmother Ann Carter Heslop, sold off a plot of land in Orange County to Abner Porter in exchange for 178 pounds 10 shillings.

Orange County, VA Deed Book 22. P. 169.

An interesting part of the indenture is that Ann and her sisters were "examined" apart from their husbands to ensure they had entered into the land sale "freely and voluntarily".

An earlier land sale involving the heirs of John Carter was found in Orange County Deed Book 21 (p. 23). In that transaction, they sold 548 acres in Orange County to Zachary Burnley.
