Patents near Columbia, Fluvanna Co, and in northern Cumberland Co. I have recently drawn maps of patents/grants in these two locales and have written short reports including what I have learned of the numerous tracts acquired by David Ross (b ca 1739, d 1817) near Columbia, and of his plantations "Cobham", "Mt Ida", and "Red House" in Cumberland and adjacent Buckingham. The maps and reports can be viewed at... http://www.rochester.edu/college/BIO/bannister/ Find your way to... /PatentMaps/Fluvanna/Columbia/ or to... /PatentMaps/Cumberland/Cobham/. Web site files are ephemeral; hard copy less so. Feel free to print copies if you wish. If I've made mistakes or if missed records, I would appreciate hearing. T.T.
