Winifred: The correct reference is "Orange County, Virginia Abstracts 1778-1821" by Ruth and Sam Sparacio and published by The Antient Press (copyright 1985). This is found on p. 142 of their book and is noted to be found on p. 200 of Orange County Will Book 5. The date of the inventory of the estate of Robert Lancaster was "24th day of last month .. given 20th June 1817 by Geo. Grasty, George Quisenberry, John Deadman . . value $1858.121 1/2. Returned into court 28th July 1817."

The reference is to an Estate Inventory of Robert Lancaster made June 20, 1817 and recorded July 28, 1817. I am not sure of Sparacio's reports. It this a true source?
