More warrants and surveys follow:
John Carpenter, surveyed 11 Apr 1753; 1245 a. on White Oak Run. [Many Germanna neighbors are given.] CC: Peter Weaver and (damaged). [I know of no direct relationship between Carpenter and Weaver except that John's son Andrew married Peter's daughter Barbara. Barbara had been married to George Clore but he died in 1751 and she married Andrew.]John Clore, Jr., assignee of John Stansifer, 6 Dec 1769 12 Apr 1770, on S. side of Pass Run. CC: Michael Clore and John Clore, Jr. [John Stansifer was John Clore's brother-in-law, Michael was his brother, and the second John Clore, Jr., may have been the John Clore for whom the land was intended, e.g., he carried the chains for himself.]
[The following warrant and survey show how involved the history of a piece of land could become.] Christopher Crigler, assignee (in 1765) of George Rootes; 6 Jul 1763 - resurveyed 22 Aug 1763; 422 a. formerly granted to Thomas Dimmack 13 Oct 1727, which appears to have been lapsed by the General Court of this Colony in 1732. Application was made by John Stubblefield who sold before he obtained a patent to Mr. Philip Rootes, dec'd. Rootes devised it to his son George Rootes, the now petitioner. CC: William Chapman and Christopher Crigler. [This one is confusing as the survey seems to have been made before Christopher obtained his rights.]
Nicholas Crigler, 17 Oct 1778 resurveyed 25 Mar 1779; 339a. on Robinson R.; to add surplus land to the tract where he now lives. CC: Nicholas Crigler, Jr., and Matthew Rouse. [Nicholas, Jr. was only 17 years old.]
Deobald (Theobald) Cristler; assignee of Christian Tivall; 12 May 1752 17 Mar 1752/3; 62 a. on branches of Robinson R. CC: Lawrence Gar & Henry Tivall. [Lawrence Gar was the brother-in-law of Theobald Crisler. Who the Tivalls were is a mystery waiting for a solution.]
[Another involved piece of land follows.] John Dear, 25 Jun 1766 no survey. 200 a.; John Dear having set forth to the office that John Creal on 3 Feb 1763 entered 200 a. on the Hazel R.; adj. Philip Hup [Hupp], William Paine, & John Dear, being part of a larger tract formerly granted to Francis Brown for 400 a. by deed 26 Nov 1749 of which 200 a. was conveyed to John Molear by said Brown, and Molear died intestate and without heirs. The same escheats to the Proprietor. John Creal refusing to prosecute his entry, John Dear makes applycation.
