    3. Have you seen these? Probably. Are you aware these are records of land owned PRIOR to 1701? The records date from then, and are misleading, in that the date of the actual records of ownership, and the date of putting these records together aren't one and same. If your man shows on these, it means he was in VA prior to 1 Jan 1701, if I'm not mistaken. Colonial Dames 17th Century allows this particular set of records (and no other beyond 1 Jan 1701 but this one big list) as a source they will allow to prove up residency there prior to 1 Jan 1701. I could be wrong in that information, but think that's right. Someone speak up and correct me if I am, I don't mind a bit, and need to know myself if I'm misinforming both you and me. bj VIRGINIA 1704 Rent Rolls Called also the VA Quit Rent Rolls, I believe. ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/1704va.txt
