  Anecdote	1803  [7]
  	Tracing the land that William Drummond Junr owned is cmoplicated. At the settlement of his estate on 19 Jan 1802 it showed that 100 pounds had been realized by sale of land and mill. However no record has been found of him being left land in the Hunting Creek Area mentioned in his will, or of him buying it. However, on 4 Jan 1802 a deed was made from John Custis, who sold by order of Court dated 21 Aug 1798, lands belonging to the children of William Drummond, dec'd, to Smith Melson (Acc Co Deeds 1800-1804, p. 244). This deed explanins that no deed had been given at the time of the sale, but now Melson is selling the same land to Daniel Drummond, 11 acres located at head of Doe Creek. It brought 50 pounds, which was paid to the guardian of said William Drummond who was entitled thereto. This child was evidently William S. Drummond, whose father left him "my Hunting Creek Lands." Willia Drummond Junr bought his Messongo land on 21 Nov 1795 from Robert Chase and wife Sarah, 61 acres of land and marsh together with a grist mill with all the appertenances belonging for 32 pounds specie (Acc Co Deeds 1793-1797, p. 334). This property was apparently also sold by John Custis in 1798 for 50 pounds without him giving a deed for it.
