Puzzling. Really don't know the answer if parts of the land had been sold.
Maybe the key word is "to heirs"? Did he sell for normal amount for that
time era for did he give it to them for $1? Even then I think it would
have been recorded at that time. Do you have the complete records?

As for Peter, maybe there would be something in the Circuit Court records,
if he filed a claim against the US? Have you tried that route?

Now for the Richards surname. I am copying a descendant tree below for
EDWARD RICHARDS who died in Franklin CO VA in 1812 and his descendants who
came to Morgan, Macoupin, Montgomery Cos IL. I am connected with Elizabeth
STEWART who married Edward Richards and also, with Susa Richards who
married Robert A. C. Jones. Susa & Roberts children were in Morgan CO IL.
Doesn't look like they are connected unless it would be earlier on in VA?
Such as the father of your James, etc.. What do you think?
