Pg 167 poofcv - David Griffith was a joint owner along with Benjamin Borden and Andrew Hampton of a 1,122-acre patent from the Colony (3 October 1734). He probably lived on this land until approximately 1747. After he had moved to Lunenburg County, Virginia, David sold 422 acres of this tract to James McCracken on 6 April 1750 for 31 pounds. (Tract 26B, Map 4) (See Andrew Hampton for location) In Halifax County, Virginia Court of Pleas, James Daniel brought a claim against the estate of David Griffith and Mary Lindsey (probably a daughter), the executor, on 17 October 1752. Mary paid Daniel's claim plus court costs on 20 March 1753. Halifax was a part of Lunenburg until 1752. McCracken lived on the 422 acres, which he had purchased from David Griffith, for a period of eight months and then sold it to George Washington of King George County, Virginia ( tract now listed as being 456 acres) for 112 pounds on 3 December 1750. --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
