Note: this land today is in Orange Co., Va.

 

NOTE: all of the patent to Joseph Woolfolk went to his sons Joseph Woolfolk, Jr (m Christian Bibb) and Thomas Woolfolk (m Mary Sutherland) – we can account for 500 acres to each son which they or their children sell the land, they clearly identify it as the land of Joseph Woolfolk (patent land)
