As I read the land sale of Humphrey Felts to William Land: Thomas Busby and Capt. Roger Potter originally patented the land.They sold to George Middleton,Oct. 1674. George gave the land to his son, Thomas, who sold the land toHumphrey Felts. The deed states, "Thomas Middleton to Humphrey Felps of Last Purchaser and Now in possession of Deed dated 27th September 1688" (from copy of original deed).On 6 March 1709, Humphrey and his wife, Helen, sold the land to William Land.

I am assuming this means Humphrey purchased the land from Middleton 27 Sept 1688.This puts Humphrey in Surry, VA 1688, not 1674.He must have been there earlier, but this is the earliest that I have found and also gives his first wife as Helen (which I do not think is the same as Eleanor).
