Note from HOPKINS:

On Oct. 30, 1707, Thomas Muse, of West'd Co., and John Muse, Jr., of

Richmond Co., Va., were granted 265 acres in West'd Co. On Nov. 10,

1711, Nicholas Muse of West'd Co., received a grant of land of 179

acres in West'd Co. on Holling Branch on Great Rappahannock Creek,

between the counties of Richmond and West'd. (Northern Neck Grant

Book No. 4, p. 60).

Notes from SOUTHERN LEGACY:

John Jr. predeceased his father and was not mentioned in his will.

However, John Jr. is proven by the Oct 1699 endorsement in which John

Sr. references "his son John Mewes" and 1703 patent assigned "to his

son John Mewes, Jr."

Also in 1725 John Jr's brother Thomas conveyed to Thomas Muse Jr. a

"piece or parcel of land which I purchased of my brother John Muse

decd" by deed dated 28 Jul 1718.

The children of John and Ann Muse are proven by Ann's will and

family records. Ann's will names nine children, and family records

name a tenth child named Elizabeth. (Ann's will: Va Will Bk 8, p.

170).

Vital statistics on John's children based on "Family Record of John Muse Jr and Descendants," "a small book . . .[ in which] the entries appear to have been made at or close to the dates."
