I have been researching early land patents of Merrymans Run area of Bedford Co VA (possibly current Franklin Co VA). Would this belong to your Matthew Farley?
1784/6/1 Matthew Farlor, 204 A on both sides of Merrymans Run, Bedford Co VA. Lib of VA Land Grants/Patents.
If it does, have you seen transactions for this property after 1784 or more info?
