I know the 1766 swap, but this predates it and appears to involve all of 
the land between the Chickahominey and the ridge (i.e., all of James 
City) west  of Mushskimino, leaving only that land east of Mushskimino 
for the final swap.

> That land swap wasn't until 1766. Is this land between Quinton and I-64. 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?

>> The transfer appears to have taken place between 1663 and 1668 as a patent was issued to Richard Scrudy and George Gilbert for 1000 acres in James City County on the north side of the Chickahominy River on 3 June 1663 (PB 4, p. 602) and 300 acres of that patent was repatented by Richard Scrugg on 23 Aug 1669 lying on the west side of Townick in New Kent County (6, p. 230).
