This was 300 acres of land on Flowerdew Hundred Creek, granted to Freme in 1643. William sold this 300 acres on 3 Apr 1663. He had received his brother Arthur's share upon Arthur's death by primogeniture as the eldest brother. He had apparently also received brother James' share or was acting on his behalf.. This land was located in Weynoke on the South [?] side of James River.
