Several responses to the query about this site:
It was a plantation in Isle of Wright County, Va. See, Seventeenth
Century Isle of Wright County Volume 2, by John Bennett Boddie.

Manchukuo was my immediate reaction, but this reference was found in
John B Boddie's _Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County, Virginia: A
history of the County_ p 572 mentions an Alexander King, planter of
Manchoskue, appointing his cousin Wm Thomson of Chuckatuck as his
attorney in the sale of 200 acres called Turkey Cock Hill in June 1675.

I believe it was the "Isle of Wight, Va. Area"

Mr. King's query neglected to incude that the place in question is in
Isle of Wight of County, Virginia. The deed in question is from
Alexander King "of Manchoskue" in 1675. (Boddie, Seventeenth Century
Isle of Wight County, 572)
This is the only mention of this place name in the book, or any record
or book that Mr. King or I can find. We can assure you, however, it was
not in Japan or Mongolia.
