Thank you Sam, but I cannot take all the credit. Most of the land records I copied to the list were taken from the two Frederick County VA volumes I cited in the posting. I do have both books however, one with the actual land maps / plots, and believe them to be the most carefully documented Frederick County land details I have found yet. If anyone would like a copy of the pages from the book or the maps, I can scan them this weekend and send them by email.
