Have you checked out the specific parcel to know it was land he purchased, or was it land he inherited from Richard and Sara(h)? I find only the following: There is a deed in the Charles City County records by which "Richard Pace, son and heire as the first issue of my mother, Mrs. Sarah Maycock, wife unto my aforesaid father, both dec'd", confirms a sale of 800 or 900 acres "lying near unto Pierce's Hundred als Flowerdieu Hundred" to Mr. Thomas Drew as per bill of his father October 12, 1650. If you have looked up where this land came from, would you mind sharing it? I had always just assumed he was selling inherited land and wanted to confirm the inheritance.
