My former colleagues at Red Hill, the Patrick Henry National Memorial in Charlotte Co., referred to me a person from nearby Amherst Co. who has what sounds like an authentic December 1774 vellum land grant signed by Governor Dunmore that he is interested in selling. Apparently Southeby's regarded it as not likely to sell high enough to warrant their interest, though they seem to concur with my guess that its probably genuine. . . . Offlist I would be happy to put anyone interested in touch with the owner. -- Jon Kukla www.JonKukla.com ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
