Shirley,

I can't find the correct volume of will abstracts but on page 51 of 
Benjamin Weisiger's Henrico County, Virginia Deeds 1705-1737 is this entry

"p113 (Deeds 1714-1718)  Edward Bowman of Henrico Co., for love and 
affection to my son Rice Jones and my daughter Frances of this county, a 
plantation now in their possession , on the north side of Swift Creek 
and an Indian
child, Aggy.  Dated 1 Aug 1716.  Wit Wm Worsham, Wm Royall, John Bowman  
Signed Edw'd (EB) Bowman   Recorded 1 Oct 1716"

Rice/Rees Jones must be dead by 1734 because Frances is selling pieces 
of this parcel without him in a later deed.

Hope this helps,

Marilyn Jackson
