A. 150 acres from Larkin CHEW to William PEMBERTON prior to 27 Mar 1770 [Spotsylvania Will Book D, page 431], as follows:

n 5th I devise to my two executors hereafter name all my tract of land in Orange and also the remainder of my tract of land adjoining to the land of Benjamin Johnston [Note: Benjamin Johnston, if that is the name, is not mentioned in the metes and bounds of the PEMBERTON tract described in WB "E" page 263-264. But that does not mean much as 23 years separate the documents.] in ?? this county part of which I have sold to William PEMBERTON which tracts of land ??? may be sold by my executors or the survivors of them or the executor or administrators of such survivor for the most money that can be got for the same, and the money arising to be applied towards the payment of my just debts by my executors and hereby ??? authorize them or the survivors of them to convey the said tracts of land in fee simple to the purchasers thereof.

n 8th and whereas I have sold to William PEMBERTON of this county a tract of one hundred and fifty acres of land whereon he now lives for which I have given him my bond to convey the fee simple estate but as yet have made him no deeds Therefore by this my will do ???? that any two Executors may make the said William PEMBERTON deeds to convey the fee simple Estate of the said land provided (?) the said Pemberton will first settle with my said executors ??? ??? and just account and pay them of whatever

So, either we have two pieces of land, which is not impossible and Pemberton moved, or we have the same piece of land in Spotsylvania County to which William added another 180 +/- acres. If we have one piece of land, where did William get the additional acres? If we have two pieces of land, then where did my William get the land he left in his will, and what did he do with the 150 acres mentioned by Larkin Chew? Can the land mentioned by Larkin Chew be better identified -- say does metes and bounds for it mention the Warner Patent, Mr. Long, Mr. Colson, Montague, Wm Scott, Wm Robinson, OR Germanna Road?
