      4. The 354 Acre Patent to George Carter on 20 Jul 1768 is on the middle left edge of Grid 16.C. Consistent
      with comments on land of Richard, both of these Grids are divided by the Halifax/Pittsylvania line running
      NE on Magnetic North. The majority of this Patent is in Pittsylvania (Va. Pat. Bk 37, pp. 270,271)
      but is surrounded by Walters, Viletto and Stamps * in Halifax, on the waters of Doubles Creek.
      5. The 370 Acres of (Dr.) Timothy Stamps (from Fauquier) is shown in lower left hand corner of Grid 16.C.,

      lieutenant and John Stamps ensign in Captain George Carter's company of County Militia".
      "The inventory of his personal estate was taken on 17 Jul 1787 by L. RAGLAND, John MOORE and Caleb DODSON".
