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.

1733 Patent to John Adams Later Conveyed To John Pardue

                                                      
                                         1733 Patent to John Adams

Virginia Patent Book 15, page 39.

Sometime prior to 1761 it was conveyed to John Pardue.

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.
