I stand corrected; it's known as grabbing and not looking. I had copied the
article and filed it in the wrong file. It is St. Stephen's Parish, King and
Queen County,  by Doyle. The one I copied in my attempt to organize my
serials (which I never finished) was from vol 7:3 (Nov-Dec 1998).


The Westmoreland book is a reprint.


Dodson has individual sections of the maps; I thought I indicated that these
were from the survey books and not the actual patent holders.
