The Beverly Patent

November 6, 1736
Including Original Grantees
Orange and Augusta Co. VA containing 92,100 Acres.
An Index taken from the drawings of J. R. Hildebrand, 5-6-1951 and 1954.
Individuals who received Patents of land in Beverly Manor, now Augusta Co.,VA

Note: If the Beverly Patent map is unavailable to you, a grid map can be made froma present day Augusta county map. Use the cities listed at the end of the Name index and lay out letters across the top, and numbers down the side of the map. Locations then can be placed on the map to show the approximate location of the patent holder.

Most deeds and Indentures indicate boundary lines, which are bounded by creeks, streams and rivers. This will help locate the property on a present day map.

A map of the Beverley Patent, 1736, was compiled and drawn by James Raymond Hildebrand in 1954. This map shows the plats of the original grantees. Because of the size of this map it has been broken into quarter sections. Permission to include it online was graciously given by John R. Hildebrand, son of the cartographer.
