near the present day town of Hopewell in the seaport town of City Point which is
now extinct and made this sale on 12 May 1703. William Bobbet lived on that
one acre of land until the time was right and he bought land on 18 June 1712
south of the present day town of Petersburg, Virginia.

Note: Hopewell and Petersburg are about 20 miles apart, a little more than a day's ride on a horse. Then it is another 11 miles from Petersburg to Jones Hole Swamp south of today's Templeton.

William Bobbet purchased 90 acres of land on 18 June 1712 South Side of Jones Hole Swamp in Prince George County, Virginia. As William Bobbet is buried south of today's Petersburg, Virginia, then he died after his land purchase in 1712 as this land went to his son William Bobbet Junior in 1712 and his son WIlliam Bobbet Junior sold the land and purchased land in Rocky Run in 1718 and 1725.

27 Oct 1673 - William Bobbett
30 Oct 1673 - Francis Whittington
Why was Francis Whittington on William Bobbet's land grant 3 days before
he had his own land grant on 30 October?
Some land grants were prearranged for being recorded on a certain date. Such
may be the case here, as William Bobbet would have needed to prearrange for
this to be taken care of before his departure on the ship "Martha" from England.
And, it is believed that Francis Whittington was the person to make arrangements
in Virginia.

John Leader's surname is Leader and nothing else. John Leader and Richard
Tonstall were the 2 persons transported from England to Virginia around 1673.

William Bobbett's 1673 Land Grant was written up in England and
then was copied in Virginia.

Even though George Cabell Greer's book: Early Virginia immigrants
1623-1666, does not include the years 1673 and 1674, in the
outline Virginia Help List, William Mecham said:
"This is an alpabetical listing of ca. 20, 000 immigrants with the following
information: name of immigrant, date [probably the year in which "headright"
was claimed, rather than the immigrant's arrival date in Virginia, name of
patentee or other party importing the immigrant, county. Rarely, these is other
information, such as "his wife."

"To have and to hold" in the land grant does not refer to a wife. It means that
if William Bobbett does not marry and have heirs, his land goes back to the
King of England who owns the land in Virginia. William Bobbett did marry his
neighbor's daughter and had 3 sons.

Date: 1673
Materials: Oil on canvas
Measurements: Painting 965.2 x 1270 mm

Description
England and Dutch ships taking on stores or cargo at a port. The activities relating to the loading has been closely observed. It has been set in a harbor, with the tower of a gate and a quay visable on the right, and the coast in the distance on the left. An England flagship is on the right, firing a salute and flying the ensign from the stern carved with the royal coat of arms. Beside the quay is an English flyboat that, from her shape, was probably Dutch-built.
A royal yacht is arriving on the left and this has prompted the firing of the salute. On the extreme left is the stern of a Dutch ship. On the quay two bales of stores or goods with clear markings have been positioned in the foreground. Men are involved in loading up small craft. a horse dragging a barrel on skids to the water's edge and there are several groups of gentlemen and women observing the activities. A guard stands outside a sentry box in the gate-way.

From 1673 Knyff's output appears to have been mostly British coastal or river scenes, with increasing emphasis on accurate and colourful depiction of the great ships of the Stuart navy. Although Dutch-born Knyff came to England when Charles II issued a general invitation to Dutch artists and craftmen to work in England in 1672. Although the two countries were at war, patronage for artists in Holland had diminished and a number took advantage of this offer, including the van de Veldes and Knyff.

Cockett's chapter on Jacob Wouterazoon Knyff in "Early Sea Pioneers" contains a list of Knyff's 37 paintings, some colour illustrations and a short sketch of Knyff's life and
background. Jacob Knyff worked and died in England. As Charles II ordered, Knyff's
paintings must be what he personally witnessed.
