MECKLENBURG CO, VA DEED BOOK 1 p. 470. Jul 27, 1767 -
from William Andrus (Andrews) of Mecklenburg to James Cooper of Lunenburg County, for 125 lbs. A certain tract of land of about 155 acres in Mecklenburg on the south side of Meherrin River and bounded by (blank) Andrews, the same being patented to William Andrews, and given to his son, Lasz Andrus and sold by him to the same James Cooper.
Signed - William (his mark) Andrus.
Wit- Richard Booker, Eleazor Andrews, John Grainger.
Recorded Aug 10, 1767.
Eleazor attempted to sell his portion of the land prior to it becoming legally his which appears to have prompted the 1767 deed between William Andrews & James Cooper. There is some unusual wording in the deed recorded, between William Andrews & his son Roland, which appears to indicate William was performing legal housekeeping duties on land previously loaned to his son.
Rowland & Eleazor (Lazez) along with Ephraim were the only children legally deeded their portion of the land prior to William Sr.'s will having been written. Therefore the acreage assigned to them was not listed in the will. Ephraim's only bequest in the will was to receive the Negro Nell after the death of his mother.
Not mentioned in the will, but indicated as sons in two 1767 Mecklenburg Co, VA deeds by William Andrews, who patented the land, were Lazez (later named in a James Cooper to Abram Andrews deed as Eleazor) & Rowland
