more on Wm Browne’s missing 1706 patent…
I’m still beating on this dead horse… I’m beginning to feel like Wyle E. Coyote chasing the Roadrunner.
I’ve added a very aggravating element of a blue “Wm Browne 1706” graphic. It is a taunt that drives me nuts. So naturally I figure maybe it will drive one of you to solve the mystery just to shut me up.
William Browne left William Boon about 100 acres in his will ca. 1718… “at the other side of Meherrin River”… where (or what part of the 640 acres is that 100 acres)?
In 1720 William Boon sold John Bryant 100 acres… is that the same land?
Where is the mouth of Rushin’s Branch?
Where is the “Dividing Run”?
Note below that the William Boon patent of 1745 (100 acres) on the north side of Meherrin River under Carolus Anderson is an “anchor” patent …meaning it cannot be disputed… it is a fact of history. Note also that I have successfully narrowed down the other patents just above the Country Line into Virginia. I have almost “but not quite” proven the missing 1706 patent. (it is roughly in the blue area I have highlighted).
