I also reviewed book Entry record book 1737-1770: land entries in the present Virginia counties of Halifax, Pittsylvania, Henry, Franklin and Patrick counties by Marian Dodson Chiarito copyright 1984 and found this book to just show names and very brief description of the acres granted. This was Great Britain way of encouraging settlement –allowed tax exemption (or no rents) on land usually about 400 acres grants was common in this book. The grant required so much to be cultivated and or so many head of cattle. This book shows Wm Collier, William Colyer, Richard Colyer, Thomas Colyer, John Colyer , James Colyer and Joseph Colyer. No real indication of who these me were….not real useful.
