Notes
Slave Bob
The Will of Israel Turner mentions the slave, Bob.
Goose Creek Land
The wife's inherited land is along Goose Creek at the Potomac. This area can be found on the contemporary map below at 300,39.

A map of Virginia dating from around 1757.
Smith River Land
The Smith River is shown on the contemporary map, but not named as such. (It appears to be named Irvine River on this map, a variation attested to on Wikipedia.) It can be found below 37 and to the left of 298. Goblintown Creek is a tributary to this river, and is not obviously labeled or drawn in at all. Currently, the connection between Goblintown Creek and the Smith River is currently broken by Philpott Lake, which is a reservoir created with the construction of the Philpott Dam between 1948 and 1952. The map from the planning of the Philpott Dam shows land boundaries in the area from at the time of the dam's planning.
