It is so fascinating to watch the interaction you all put together to help
each other. With brain power like this, it is so impressive to see how fast
you all come together on a problem.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
and I look forward to learning more about my Virginia history and its people
past and present.

Subject: Re: New Kent boundaries
Are just trying to locate exactly where it is or is something else happening
here? I have that New Kent book that has the 1865 boundaries and what you
are looking for can probably be matched to some of them. If you send me the
plats, I can check for you!

The old county line was the watershed between the Chickahominy and the York
River tributaries. Does it match any of the surveys in the recent book on
New Kent surveys from a couple of years ago?
