The location in Amelia County, Virginia where the patent was surveyed.

In the lower center of the map is a light colored area and bordering the northside of the area is Deep Creek.  Just northwest of the light colored area Beaverpond Creek empties into Deep Creek, and not visible on the map is the "small branch" where the survey for the patent begins on the Upper side of Deep Creek adjoining Abraham Burton's line and bounded as follows: 

"Beginning at a scaly bark hickory on beaverpond branch

at or near the mouth of a small branch thence
North 25 degrees East 132 poles to a corner lightwood stake or knot thence,

East 270 poles to a corner, thence,
South 82 poles to Abraham Burton's line, thence along the same line
West 16 degrees South 4 1/2 poles to said Burton's corner, thence,
North 117 poles along Burton's line to his upper corner upon Deep Creek as it meanders to the mouth of Beaverpond Branch, thence up Beaverpond Branch as it meanders to the 1st station."


This patent of 400 acres was  issued to the above John Adams and finalized in 1733 just prior to his death, after which at some point the land was conveyed to John Pardue who, with his wife, Sarah, sold it to Henry Walthall in August 1761.

In 1734 this area of Prince George County became part of Amelia County, where thereafter  the deed records for this part of Prince George County appear in the Amelia County Deed Records.
