Hi Ralph,

I am very interested in this book as well; especially, for the Jones, Rosser, Sturdivants, etc. mentioned. I had tried to order it once before, but the author's email addy bounced. I had forgotten about it until I seen your post. I just emailed the Greensville County Genealogical Society to see if they can help me locate a copy.

Hi Ralph,

I finally received my copy in the mail today. I like the book. Lots of maps. Now, I need to find me one for Dinwiddie County. :)

The Sims listed are:

Adam of Brunswick
31 Oct. 1726; 250a; Brunswick; (s) EMP 41'40"N;37'35"W; adj. Mrs. Chapman and William Ledbetter (VPB 13:69)
also says...Mrs. Chapman = John Chapman 1723. [Note: "Mrs. Chapman" is the same "Rebecca Wall" who had two patents in her own name. As the widow of John Chapman, she married Michael Wall.]

Adam
23 May 1763; 202a; Brunswick; 20 sh.; (n) ANT 44'00"N;39'50"W along Rockey Run and a road; adj. Hunt, Lanier, Sisum, and his own (VPB 35:139-140)
Lanier = Brunswick Co.; Hunt = Samuel Chamberlain 1745; Sissum = John Wall, Jr., 1750

Adam Jr.
23 May 1763; 400a; Brunswick; 40 sh.; (s) ANT 38'30"N;41'20"W adj. Walton (VPB 35:130-131)
