I believe that the river mentioned in Hoffmans work later became known as the Roanoke River. If you look at the path of this river I think that you will find that this piece of land was a bit west of what you expected. Perhaps as far west as present day Warren County or Nash. While you did not post the actual date of the land acquisition the Old Chowan District was quite LARGE, in the early 18th century. While this knowledge has not helped me all that much with my HALL research, it certainly has opened up a lot of new places to look for data. Do not overlook Nothampton County, NC, I think that at one time it too was a part of this old district. Rob
