Pat Duncan, Thank you for the great information about the Loudoun Co original grant map and ownership records. I just signed up for this mailing list and missed the earlier post from Marty Hiatt. I've already sent a letter ordering a copy of the map. I'd previously checked the Library of Virginia records and there's no trace of of my Dean ancestors in Loudoun Co in their records, although they are on the tax records for Loudoun Co for 1760 through 1786. If anyone has information about Samuel Dean and his son Samuel Jr, please contact me. They married into the Duncan and Russell families respectively, so I'm searching for information about both those family lines, too. Maybe I have a connection to your line, Pat. Samuel Dean Sr supposedly married Sarah Duncan, although I've found no trace of a marriage record.
