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!

>> 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?
