In 1733 Robert BEVERLY willed 200 acres of land to Anthony HEAD.
Evidently HEAD was already living on the land in 1733. This land was

Hi:
I saw in your notes where you had visited several cemeteries in Madison Co.,
VA and offered to do lookups from your notes.
You probably do not have any Coats/Coats names on your list but if you do I
would appreciate any information.
My Coats were James and Nancy Howell Coats born late 1700's and died in 1862
and 1870's. If you have any knowledge of them, or of anyone researching
them, I would greatly appreciate it.
