The deeds are granting his (Adam Hope's Property to others). I have a copy of one page of a book that summarizes the various deed transactions. Here are the 3 involving my ancestor: 11 February 1804, Page 395.  Adam Hope, by Daniel La Tourrette, his attorney, of New Jersey to Rhodom E. Rogers, of Harrison Co., Virginia, for $100, 131.25 acres... Jones Run, a branch of Ten Mile Creek... corner to John Lyons.  Signed Adam Hope, by Daniel La Tourrette, Wit: Benjamin Wilson, James Myers and Daniel Davisson.  Recorded February 1804. 7 January 1804, Page 397.  Adam Hope of Bethlehem Twp, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey power of attorney to Daniel La Tourrette, of Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., New Jersey.  Signed Adam Hope, Wit: James W. Hope and Lydia D. Hope, NJ  JP: John Wilson.  Recorded February 1804. * Lydia D. and James W. Hope are Adam Hope's two youngest children, and I think the only two that would have been living home at the time (I believe both getting married after 1804). 11 February 1804, Page 398.  Adam Hope, by his attorney Daniel La Tourrette, of  Hunterdon Co., New Jersey to John Lyons, of Harrison Co., Virginia, for $100, 131.25 acres ... Jones Run, corner to Alexander Holden.  Signed Adam Hope, by Daniel La Tourrette, Wit: Benjamin Wilson, Jr., J. Myers and Daniel Davisson.  Recorded February 1804. 11 February 1804, Page 399.  Ditto to Alexander Holden, of Harrison Co., Virginia, for $60.00, 100 acres ... Jones Run ... corner to John Lyons. Signed: same, Wit: same.  Recorded February 1804. A quote from the person who sent this information to me: These are from Deed Book 5 in Harrison County.  They mention his sale of his land,  but I never found any reference to him purchasing land.  He may have purchased his land prior to 1784 when Harrison County was formed from Monongalia County (but there would be no records as the Monongalia County courthouse burned in 1796). ________________________________ From: Sharon and Harry <thistledewus@yahoo.com> To: john newman <johnfnewman@yahoo.com>; "njhunter@rootsweb.com" <njhunter@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 2, 2011 7:58 AM Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] West Va connection to early 1800s Hunterdon?
