(Ruth & Sam Sparacio, Minute Book Abstracts of Fauqier County, Virginia 1759-1761 (McLean, VA: The Antient Press, 1993), p. 28-29.Presumably Jacob Holtzclaw, one of the executors, and Henry Holtzclaw are sons of the deceased Jacob Holtzclaw, but that is not documented by the court order.These two Holtzclaws appear on the Prince William Co. rent roll of 1738, probably father and son:Holtzclaw, Jacob & John (J. Estelle Stewart King, WILL. ADMINISTRATIONS, AND MARRIAGES, FAUQUIER COUNTY, VIRGINIA 1759-1800 [Beverly Hills CA: 1939], p. 152. Because Prince William Co. was the parent county of Fauquier Co., Mrs. King included the 1738 rent roll of the parent county.)

You could get 400 acres if you raised a crop of corn and then you also were entitled to another 1000 acres. So looks like Jacob raised his corn, claimed his 400 acres and his additional 1000 acres which he sold to Jacob Fishback -- what happened to the other 300 acres after he sold some to Jr.? Take care.
