  Land - they received a land patent	1654	Northampton County, Virginia, USA   [4]
  	It was in this year that the court ordered Nicholas Waddelowe to give John Cudden a deed for land sold him. In 1656 Waddelowe must have applied for a patent before his sale but it was no issued until this year when it called for 350 acres of tract N100 (east of Jamesville) and two years later Nicholas and Amy Waddelowe sold it to John Cutten. Then in 1663 a patent was reissued in his name. In 1681 John and Tabitha Custis and Argoll Yardley united in a deed to John Cuttin for the 350 acres "as by a pretended Pattent to John Cuttin." Apparently the Yardley heirs had claimed this land as being a part of the Francis Yardley patent and were able to substantiate the claim and secure a payment from Cuttin. In 1686 John Cuttin gave 100 acres to his grandson Bailey Johnson and 3 years later (1689) he gave the remaining 250 acres to this son William Cuttinge. (NOTE: Since John Cutting I deposed that he was age 84 in Sept 1684 it is possible that it was his son John Cutting II that gave the land to his grandson Baily Johnson in 1686 and it was more likely that it was his son John Cutting II that gave the remaing 250 acres to his son William Cutting in 1689.)
