(Transcribed by Mary C. Smith from a photocopy provided by the Patrick County Circuit Court,
Stuart, Va. Note: John SHARP acquired both these parcels of land from William SHARP, the first
on 9 April 1787 [93 acres], the second on 9 Jan. 1793 [90 acres]. This second parcel is the
same land that John Sharp sold to John Crum on 12 March 1792. In the 1792 deed, however, the
phrase is "North Seventy Six Degrees East Eight poles to pointers in Chiles line...." while in
1819 the phrase changes to "No 76 degrees E 80 po...." Perhaps the note at the end about
altering was meant to correct this "error"; however the original 1787 land grant to William
SHARP actually says "East eight poles" and it is the deed from William to John that converts
the "eight" to "Eighty.")
