Land formerly granted by patent to Lt. Col Anthony Elliot on 21 Mar 1652 and assigned by the said Lt. Col Elliot to the said Abraham Iveson. A note in the margin is difficult to read but seems to be a renewal 18 Mar 1662.


It's questionable whether or not the following are references to the same Abraham Iverson. Many names were used frauduently and repeated during the land patent process.

It is without doubt that names were used repeatedly to claim land. This last is the first to omit Charles Greene who may have been Iverson's son-in-law.


This land of Abraham Iverson's does not appear to be in the same location as that on Mockjack Back, Gloucester Co. and may be indeed a different person.
