The 1737 Brent Town Tract map of Prince Wm. Co. [a redrawn map from the original, which I sell] shows the homesites of those you note above: Mason, Norman, Reno, Tacquett &Wigginton ? among 32 others. I also have a plat map for sale showing the parcels of a few of these, as drawn by the late Wm. Lawson Reno Jr. I have no knowledge of any of the Tacquett [aka Tackett/Tackitt] family members being on Aquia [in Stafford Co.] before about 1800 [the 3rd generation after the immigrant, Lewis Tacquett.]. It is possible, though, that William Tackett, c1722-1783, had acquired some land on Aquia prior to 1800. Jim W.
