Francis Place conveyed a tract of land formerly in Isle of Wight County, Virginia containing 300 acres patented by him Sept. 7 1654, lying on the North side of the "freshes" of the Rappahannock River about ten miles above Nazemum Town and certain cattle by deed of gift to "My daughter Mary Place when she arrives at 18 years," if she dies without heirs, then "to daughter Margaret Place, my youngest daughter." Mary had Thomas Powell by 1666 when they deeded this land to James Coghill.
