There is an excellent scholarly article that cites all of the relevant
documents and gives much valuable context on this point: Warren R.
Hofstra, "'The Extention of His Majesties Dominions': The Virginia
Backcountry and the Reconfiguration of Imperial Frontiers," Journal of
American History 84 (1998): 1281-1312. Hofstra later published a very
fine book that also includes much of this information, The Planting of
New Virginia: Settlement and Landscape in the Shenandoah Valley
(Baltimore, Md.: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2004).
