A62 in 1655 a patent was issued to Thomas Leatherbury for 600 acres.  The history of this tract is vague due to many other patents and sales of land here.  It all came into the hands of Thomas Leatherbury before his death in 1673 (Whitelaw).

Thomas Leatherbury wrote his will on 3 July 1673 (Nottingham).  It was proved on 19 August 1673. An abstract of his will reads:

LEATHERBURY, THOMAS - 3 July 1673 - 19 Aug. 1673 - To eldest son Charles Leatherbury plantation where I now live after the death of my wife Ellenor, reversion to my second son George Leatherbury.  To my second [sic] son Perry Leatherbury (under 21) 600 acres at Onancock Creek,also 300 acres adjoining it & 1000 acres purchased of Capt. John West, reversion to son Charles - Wife Ellenor resid, legatee & Exec.  Witt: Ja: Matts, John Jenkins, Daniell Byles.

When Perry Leatherbury died in 1709, all of the tract was owned by either Perry or his brother Charles.  Perry Leatherbury wrote his will on 19 February 1708/9 (Nottingham).  It was proved on 5 April 1709.  An abstract of his will reads:

LEATHERBURY, PERRY - 19 Feb. 1708/9 - 5 Apr. 1709 - To son Perry plantation where I now live containing 300 acres  To sons Edmund & Charles 600 acres being part of 1000 acres & adjcent the land given Perry, & should both die under age to be divided between all my daughters  To Thomas Bagwell 150 acres to pay my debts & educate my sons Charles & Thomas.  To son Thomas the remaining part of the above tract & 600 acres formerly rented to Daniel Boyd.  Daus.

Shortly before the death of Perry's son Edmund Leatherbury and Mary his wife, Edmund sold 250 acres to Robert Tiseker.  His son William inherited this land in 1754.  This piece stayed in the Tizeker family until William's daughter Polly and her husband Jacob Bird sold it in 1808 (Whitelaw).  NOTE:  There are no Tizekers named in the 1795 Procession; a Stephen Turlington is living on this land.

In 1721 Charles Leatherbury, the son of the first Thomas Leatherbury, died and his land fell into the hands of his son Thomas.  This Thomas wrote his will on 27 December 1747 (Nottingham).  It was proved on 29 March 1748.  An abstract of his will reads:

LEATHERBURY, THOMAS - 27 Dec. 1747 - 29 Mar. 1748 - To son Charles Leatherbury all the land from where Findlay's mill stands toward the branch where John Leatherbury now lives, all to the North side of the horse road.  To sons Thomas & John & daughter Elizabeth the profits of all the remainder of my land to bring them up.  To son Thomas negro, wife to have use of him during her widow or as long as she shall keep my children.  What cash I have to be reserved for the law suit concerning the land that is in dispute between Mr. George Holden & I.  Wife & 3 children, John, Thomas & Elizabeth residual legatees.  Wife Rachel, Mr. Thomas Parramore, & Mr. James Rule Exrs.  Witt: Edward Revell, John Leatherbury, William Phinney, Jr.  In order of prob: Edward Revell guardian to Charles Leatherbury, Inf't. heir at law to the testator.
