Perrin Farrar, Albemarle Co. VA
As I was transcribing a will tonight from 1808 in Nelson County, VA between my ggggg-grandfather Samuel W. Anderson and his son, my gggg-grandfather John Anderson, I came across the unusual (to me!) name of "Perrin Farrar."I just checked in the Farrar genforum, and lo and behold, you folks are on top of it here with all *sorts* of Perrin Farrars :-)
This Perrin Farrar was referred to as "deceased" when the will was written in 1808, but if it's any help to anyone, I can almost pinpoint the location of the land due to the other references.

This area is/was known as Rich Cove and Samuel Anderson and some of the Lyons apparently owned property here (along with Maxwells and Blains).

From bits and pieces of other deeds, I'm pretty well convinced that the land in question was probably west of Rt. 29 rather than east. My gggg-John Anderson owned land "south of Hickory creek" which he later left to his children.
