Still quoting from the warrants and surveys:
Jacob Holtzclaw of Prince William Co. 5 Apr 1751 6 May 1751; 104 a. on Shannandoah where he lives. CC: Herman Houltclaw & Joseph Strickler. Surv. George Hume. [The suggestion that Jacob lived on the Shenandoah was probably a mistake. Apparently, he had his son Harmon serve as chain carrier. It is interesting that Harmon had a daughter who married a Stribling which is not too far from Strickler.]
The selections that I have given so far are from the Peggy Shomo Joyner's " Northern Neck Warrants & Surveys, Orange and Augusta Counties ". Of the series that she published, this is volume 1. The following are taken from volume 3 for Dunmore, Shenandoah, Culpeper, Prince William, Fauquier, and Stafford Counties.
Michael Blankenbeker of Orange Co. 20 Sep 1748 17 Nov 1748; 50 a. at head of Pass Run in the Great Fork; adj. his own land. CC: Lawrence Garr and Jacob Blankenbaker. [Michael snagged his brother-in-law and brother.]Adam Broyle, assignee of George Moyer; 10 Mar 1753 10 Apr 1753; 375 a. on Island Run, now called White Oak Run; adj. Moyer, Adam Yager, Michael Kafer, Christopher Moyer. CC: George Holt & Adam Wilhite. [Adam Wilhite married Catherine Broyles, which appears to make him an uncle of Adam Broyles. I am uncertain about George Holt. Incidentally, this land was the subject of a lawsuit between Adam Broyles and George Moyer which Broyles won.]
John Broyle, 21 Nov 1767 12 Apr 1768; 115 a. on Ragged Mt. CC: Michael & Matthew Broyles. [They were John's brothers.]
Nicholas Crigler once served as a chain carrier for Richard Burdine but I know of no relationship between the two. On another occasion, Paul Yowell was a chain carrier for Burdine, but I know of no relationship here either. Reginald Burdine served once as a chain carrier for his father. John Grissom/Gresham served once for his father-in-law, Richard Burdine.
John Button, surveyed 18 Apr 1752; original warrant was issued to Richard Jones but assigned to Button; 472 a. in Little Fork. CC: Edmond Brouning (Browning?) & Samuel Scott.Nicholas Cabler, surveyed 25 Oct 1750; 162 a. CC: David Jones & Christopher Cabler. Pilot: Frederick Cabler. Surv. Philip Clayton. [Nicholas and Christopher were brothers, and Frederick was probably their father. This land was in the Mt. Pony area of Culpeper Co.]
