Timeline:



1762
Edmund Belcher of Lunenburg County, VA sold to Mark Puckett of Chesterfield County land on Third Branch next to John Perdue, Thomas Puckett, Thomas Belcher, and John Belcher. One of the witnesses was a Thomas Perdue.


1779
Virginia Gazette, Saturday May 15, 1779 - in Chesterfield County...to Sheriff...commanded you to have one John Pardue, son...and heir at law of John Pardue, deceased, to appear before our justices of our court of said county at the courthouse on the first Friday in November next to answer a bill in Chancery exhibited against him by Cleveland Pardue.....witness: ......clerk...courthouse the 15th day of October in the third year of our commonwealth.


Chancery Court was the court that, among other things, had jurisdiction on estate settlements, especially involving land. And this bill may well have involved the original 1746 patent on Sappony Road to John Perdue. I attempted to run out the deeds on the above patent through 1770 some years ago, without finding any records involving the land in that patent.


From other entries surrounding this land, it appears that the John Perdue to whom it was originally patented was in possession of it until 1770 the last year I researched it and if the same John, he was in possession of it until his death in 1779;  thus, he was not the same John Perdue who received a patent of land in Amelia County in 1746 living there until 1761 when he moved to North Carolina where he died in Bute County in 1769.
