In his will Ambrose Benston gave to son James Bensten plantation where I now live with all my land in Virginia or Maryland thereto adjoining except 1/2 of 130 acres which I give to Jonathan Bensten, and except all such land as is contained in the following bounds: beginning at a marked white oak standing near the head of the Branch at the upper end of my plantation, thence South to the Swamp by a line of trees also marked, thence along the swamp to my brother Alexander's line, thence along my said bro's. line to the Branch, thence down the said branch to the first mentioned white oak, all of which I give to my son Ambrose.

In 1671 Massey Benston sold the land to George Holden, stating that he was the brother of the grandson Alexander, upon whose death Massey had inherited. Three years later, presumably after his marriage, he and his wife Tabitha gave a new deed to Holden and acreage was given as 272 acres. In 1803 Holden heirs (see A58) sold 138 acres and a mill, call the Dams Plantation, to William M. Beavans, and in 1830 commissioner sold to Oliver Logan.4 
Land sold*1763She sold land in 1763 at tract A166A, New Church, Accomack Co, VA. Massey and Tabitha Benson sold their part of this tract to George Holden, from whom it passed to a son of the same name, and in 1803 his heirs (see A58) sold to William M. Beavans.1
