I love you!! Thank you so much for this help. However, I am REALLY dumb when it comes to computers
and I have not been able to use the URL you gave me. I don't know if my computer isn't able--or if
it's me, but probably the latter.
Could you help me just a little more? See if I have entered the data you sent correctly and it I
haven't change it?
This is the instructions I have given Deed Mapper:

It seems to look about right, but I'm not sure-- and I still have the other tract to do. Could you
put the metes and bounds as if you were on Deed Mapper. I can copy it intact if you will.

By the way, I found something that might interest you if you don't already have it. It is a
question of the bounds of "this other tract.
Henrico County Reel #66. Records [orders] 1710-1714,
pg. 4 - Trespass. Thomas & Kath (wife) Farrer, pltf. vs John Stewart, deft.
pg. 8 -June 1, 1710 - Case above. [The Thomas & Katherine Perrin's land appears to be the
256 a which they received from Richard Perrin, and later William Cocke patented.] Find at distance
of 72 poles above Cornelius Cr up a place called the "Narrows" on James River there is a stake fixt,
which Plft. & Deft agree was their boundary on the River and that from thence the course between
them should be: N3E;3.5 chains to parcel of trees marked on the swamp side and we find a NE course
from the said trees to be the dividing line between them so far as Cornelius, his creek, for the
neck and swamp and within the said land of the pltfs on that side Cornelius Cr. We find the deft
trespassed by cutting down 1 oak tree. We also find the course of the patent which said Stewart
claimes under "from a marked tree standng on upper side the said creek to be NE and at a distance of
60 chains from the tree on the creek above mentioned we find the said line that intersects a line
that was proved to us by oath of Mr. William Cocke, to be the dividing line agreed between Richard
Perrin and William Ballew who formerly posest the said land, and that he had seen the line twice
processioned when both the said pltf and Ballew were present & find the pltfs land from the
intersection aforesaid to be N33E to a w.o. by oath of Wm Cocke appeared to us to be the corner tree
between said Perrin and Ballew.

My interest is in the Baileys who owned land adjacent to WORLD'S END, then later, because of a
marriage of Thomas Bailey to Jane Perrin, ended up owning a portion of it.
I will be more than happy to share what I have done. Perhaps it would be good to see if we come up
with the same data?
Sincerest regards,

Subject: Re: COMPASS READING Perrin Patent of 1672
The recorded survey data of the Richd Perrin patent of 1672 cause trouble until
it is realized that the data (1) 1st describe the north-side side line & head
line - starting at James River & proceeding clockwise, then (2) again starting
at the river, proceeding counterclockwise down James River to Cornelius Ck then
into woods to meet the headline.
If one were to start at th mouth of Cornelius Ck and proceeded counterclockwise,
the survey data would read as follows:
"RPERD672","15 Mar 1672","Richd Perrin [PB 6: 445], 474 acres called
World's End - an interpretation.",5,474
"0. River 12 feet below Cornelius Ck, into woods",NEXN,104
"1. _____, then ",ENE,70
"2. Sta 5 assumed to be on Wm Cocke line, ",NWXN,185
"3. White oak corner, ",WSW,300
"4. River above Jno Burton's house, down river ","-",-1
(Here distances have been calculated in poles - 2 poles per chain)
Plats of this and other "placed" patent surveys is available as the file
Henrico.gz file useable by DeedMapper users..
