could you give us more details on what these documents said for the locations on the south side of the James, or where the plantation was? Landmarks, adjoining whose property? We might be able to help you. Their dates? The Old Indian Town might be Manakin Town, just outside Richmond, it was named for the Monacan Indians who used to live there. Later it was settled by a large group of French Huguenots. It's still called Manakintown, with a Manakintown Ferry Road, etc. What location do these documents give for the plantation?
