I did not find him receiving a patent, but is listed as a headright: I have
published a book on Henrico Patents and this is what is listed im my book:

Patent Book 1, Page 454
Elizabeth PACKER
950 acres in Henrico County granted unto Elizabeth PACKER, Widdowe, joyne E
upon Four Mile Creeke; W upon the land of Seth WARD; S upon the River and N
into the woods and due Elizabeth PAKER in right of her late husband
Sergeant William SHARPE and Thomas PARKER who at their own cost and charges
for the transportation of 19 persons: Richard VASE, John THOMAS, Lewis
JONES, Leonard HOUGHTON, William COOKE, Peter HUDSEY, Edward JONES, Jon.
WARD, William WOOLEY, 2 liberal servants to sergeant Wm. SHARP, Thomas
BLANCKS, Jacob DEWITT, Jon HAMAN, Andrew PRATT, Christ. STEVENSON, Christ.
BEARE, Jon. SHADDOCK, Francis SONE, servants to Tho. PACKER ... 17th August
1637

Perhaps her married this widdow?? and the land was hers. The ting you now
need to do is to see if you can trace this land and see when it sold and
who sold it.

Hope this helps. Selena

I have information that my ancestor, Jacob DeWitt, in August of 1637
received an assignment of a land patent for 950 acres in Henrico County.
Can someone please look this up and see if this is correct? If it is, then
this opens up many doors for me. I have been thoroughly stumped when it
comes to Jacob's arrival to the Virginia or New Amsterdam. I have tried to
contact the Northern DeWitts without any success. I live in Oklahoma and
have never been to Virginia and can't see a visit in the near future to do
this research myself.

So if someone could please look this up, I would be so ever grateful.

My many thanks in advance,
Linda DeWitt Hughey
