This patent (and the successive three) are not indexed (Apr 2017) 
   in the LVA's Land Office Patents and Grants database. 

While this patent is given as being in Isle of Wight Co., it lies in 
   that portion from which Southampton Co. was formed in 1749. 

The reference apparently is not to modern Terrapin Swamp - the northernmost 
   in the county - but rather, to Hickaneck Swamp - the next to the south.
