In 1763, Thomas Harris, Jr. and wife, Saborey (Sabra) of Louisa Co., Va sell 400a tract for 70 pounds (south side of North Fork of Falling Creek) in Prince Edward to Robt Harris of Hanover. Sabra could not attend to relinquish dower rights so Wm Johnson and Nicholas Johnson, Justices of the Peace of Louisa Co. went there to do it for her.
