I ran across this record of a BENJAMIN DABNEY in Dinwiddie Co VA in 1765: Mar. 18 1765, Deed. "Peter Nance and Elizabeth, his wife, of Dinwiddie Co, to Alexander Gibbs of Prince George Co for £70 current money...100 acres whereon Peter Nance now dwells...in BENJAMIN DABNEY'S line ...Richard Nance's line...by the Cat Tail to Eppes line...along Gravely Run. Witn: P. McQuaid, Stephen Dance, Thos. Cardwell". Interestingly, Thomas Nance, who was a son of the Richard Nance mentioned here as an apparent neighbor of Benjamin Dabney, had a son Henderson Nance (by his second wife Mary) who had a son named DABNEY NANCE. Dabney Nance's grandmother Mary's name was Cooper. Could she have been a Mary Dabney, related to Benjamin, married to and then widow of Cooper?
