Cindy,

Based on what I have seen, it appears that almost anything that you can 
imagine, concerning land provided for importing people, probably happened at 
one time or the other.  Irrespective of the actual law, the controls over 
"who did what when" were obviously very poor, and it appears that some 
people obtained multiple pieces of land for "importing" (wink wink) the SAME 
person on multiple occasions over many years!  It could be that Dennis 
Cornell had been in VA for some time, but was somehow "used" in the above 
fashion by Richard Taylor (not to "pick on" Richard....this seemed to be a 
common practice).  The person being "imported" probably just wanted a place 
to live and work, and he/she probably had little concern (or input) over how 
things were being handled "at the top."
