364. Garret* CORNELISON^{1234,1431,1432,1433} was born on 17 Nov 1696.¹⁴³⁴ He owned 92 acre homestead on 13 Dec 1762 in , Loudon Co., VA.¹⁴³⁵ "This indenture made the thirteenth day of December in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty two between Francis Hague of the County of Loudon and Colony of Virginia and Jane his wife of the one part and Garrett Cornelius of the said county of the other part, WITTNESSETH that the said Francis Hague for and in consideration of the sum of five Shillings Sterling to him in hand paid the Receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged HATH BARGAINED & sold and by these presents doth bargain and sell unto the said Garrett Cornelus all and singular that tract and parcel of land situate lying and being in the said County of Loudoun and in the Killastem Mountain and bounded as followeth wit;

The next day, December 14, 1762, the indenture was "proved" by the oaths of three "wittnesses", one of whom was James Clemons, the neighbor who shared one boundary line. The deed was recorded by Chas. Binns, Cl Ct.

The ritual of the payment of one ear of Indian corn and the reference to the statute for transferring uses into possession indicate the Colony of Virginia may have had some sort of Homestead Law that required the owner to live on the land for one year to qualify for ownership.

He signed a will on 13 Jan 1775 in Louden Co., VA.¹⁴³⁶ Garret's Will copied from original document, Will Book B, Page 257, Loudon County, Virginia (This from research of Helen Shadoan).
