[While Isle of Wight (1634-37, Warrasquyoke {spelled variously}) and Nansemond 
 (1636-37, part of New Norfolk) Cos. adjusted their boundary in 1769, I am not 
 aware of Isle of Wight Co. ever having extended below the mouth of the main 
 Nansemond River, so it seems this should have been described as being in 
 Elizabeth City Co., or after that county was split sometime in 1636, New 
 Norfolke Co.  Patents to the next two grantees are both so situated and 
 designated as this one- south of the Nansemond, but in Warrisquick Co.]
