Years next coming after the Date of these Presents Cultivate and Improve three Acres part of every fifty of the Tract above mentioned Then the Estate hereby Granted shall Cease and be Utterly Determined and thereafter it shall and may be Lawful to and for us our Heirs and Successors to grant the same Lands and Premises with the Appurtenances unto such other Person or Persons as We our Heirs and Successors shall think fit IN WITNESS whereof we have Caused these our Letters Patent to be made WITNESS our trusty and well beloved Fauquier our Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief of our said Colony and Dominion at Williamsburgh Under the Seal of our said Colony the Twelfth Day of December One thousand Seven hundred and fifty eight In the thirty second Year of our Reign
NOTE: "Free and common soccage" was when land was held through certain and honorable service, as by fealty to the King and the payment of a nominal sum of money. The tenant "in capite" held his title immediately from the king, as in the case of nobles and knights. The feast of St. Michael is September 29, and in a liberal sense it refers to the fall of the year.
The list of surveys and patents given below, and dating from before 1790, has been compiled from the records in the Surveyor's office of Augusta and in the Land Office of Vir- ginia. The name of the person for whom the tract was sur- veyed or patented is followed first by the number of acres, next by the year of the survey or grant, and then by a descrip- tion of its location. Unless this is followed by a capital P (for patent), the tract is a survey. Otherwise, it is a patent granted in the same year.
The descriptions on record are often vague, and sometimes of little or no service at the present time. Owing to this cir- cumstance, doubtless a few of the tracts mentioned are really within the limits of Bath or Pendleton, while a few thought to belong to one or the other of those counties may belong really in Highland.
The original descriptions have generally been followed. Sometimes it was evidently better to give a landmark of the present day. By following our plan some otherwise forgotten names of places and neighbors are brought to light.
The date of patent is not in every case given. This is not always owing to a difficulty in identification. Sometimes the tract has been thrown into an inclusive survey of later date. Many of the surveys toward the end of the period were not patented till after 1790.
