tract N12, Capeville, Northampton Co, Virginia [4] |
- The court ordered Thomas Eyre to give possession to Col. Southy Littleton of the land "whereon the said Severen formerly dwelt." Just why this land was recliamed by Littleton is uncertain, although it may have been entailed so Edward had no right to sell, but Thomas and Jane Eyre complied with the order, and one Thomas Hogg, who had married the widow of Forsith, likewise released to Littleton any rights he might have.
