S. Holiday Sutherland Februay 2, 1961 Clintwood, Virginia Pioneer Recollections, page 412, paragraph 4
The old man Blair sold a tract of land on Lick and McClure Creeks to Jacob Chaney. He moved there before the Civil War and built a home and cleared up several acres. When the war started, Chaney was strong for the Union, and it got so hot for him that he sold the tract to Grandpa Sutherland and moved away. Grandpa gave the land to Dad [Jasper Sutherland] and Uncle Lige, and they batched there awhile during the war and afterwards. Pa bought out Uncle Lige's interest in the farm, and that was where Pa lived for many years, and that was where I was born. In 1887, Grandpa made Pa a deed for the farm containing 700 acres, but they had it resurveyed, and it run out to be 1002 acres and Grandpa then made a new deed about a year after the first deed. The deed from Blair to Chaney was not on record in Dickenson County Clerk's Office until we had a lawsuit about the coal on this land. Mr. __ found the old deed, and we had it recorded. In this suit, Grandpa swore that he had bought the land from Chaney before Chaney left and Chaney did not make him a deed for the land. Pa had been in adverse possession of this tract more than twenty years, so the court upheld his claim to the land.
