The will appears to match the land patented by George. John received the 200 acres on Stoney Creek [patent of 10 Jan 1735]. Josias & George & grandson Augustine - probably a son of deceased son Robert - were to divided the 800 acre patent on the Byrd [patent dated 22 Sep 1739]. George also received 400 acres on Lickinghole, either of the first two early patents in 1729 and 1731. The remaining patent of 400 acres was the home plantation left to wife Mary, then to descend to John.
