Note
Note: Sometime around early 1774, Benjamin Head agreed to sell the southernmost 450 acres of his tract of land in Orange County to his neighbor Durrett Oliver for 56 pounds and sixpence. After having paid Benjamin Head 28 pounds and 19 shillings, Durrett Oliver died, before the land was partitioned. Durrett Oliver died intestate, leaving his widow Tabitha Oliver, eldest son Achilles Oliver, and several younger children. To settle the disposition of the property, the proportion already paid for (232.75 acres) was marked off and given to Durrett Oliver's heirs. The remaining proportion (217.25 acres) was put up for public sale, the highest bidder being Robert Beadles for the amount of 33 pounds, 5 shillings. The southwestern section of the property (1325 acres) bought by Benjamin Head in 1771 went to Beadles and the southeastern section went to Oliver's heir, leaving the remainder along the Rapidan River in the hands of Benjamin Head.
