2 Nov 1705, Lewis Green patented "97 acres beginning on the south side Jones Hole, adjoining William Jones Senr, Thomas Wynn &c. " 18 June 1712, William Bobbett (father of John Bobbett who was John Green's brother-in-law) had a survey of 90acres on the South side of Jones Hole Swamp. (PG Co VA Surveys 1716-1724, page 2) 22 Jan. 1717, Shanes Raynes, 230 acres of new land, Pr. Geo. Co., on N. side of Jones Hole Sw; above Thomas Raynes' house; adj. Bobbett's land; & Raynes,' alias Pace's, line. Wrong side of the swamp. Perhaps Bobbett had land on the north side as well, or perhaps it was a different Bobbett. I don't know what "alias Pace's" means. Raynes who's also called Pace? Or Pace's line that's now Raynes' line? Or Raynes' line that's now Pace's line? At the least, it shows that somebody with the name of Pace was in this area some time or other. Precision, that's what we like. I am speculating (because these families seem to have been near one another again in the Jones Hole area) that perhaps John Green was indeed a son of Lewis Green. William Bobbett Jr m. Mary Green Nov 8 1725 (I don't know if this is proved), and they named a son Lewis. So perhaps Lewis Bobbett was named after his mother's father. Unfortunately, it could also be that the mother's surname has just been surmised on the basis of the son's given name.
