As I read the book on Lunenburg County, Virginia for background to help solve the Wooten/Cochran puzzle I am finding references to my Marshall family. Again this post is a bit of a brainstorming session with misc information as I read it. I am reading this book on Ancestry
On page 100 I find references to a land transaction in 1722:
So where is the Meherrin River? I turn to Wikipedia: 
The part of the river that flow through Virginia lies in what his now Southhampton, Greenville, Brunswick Counties and seems to be the border between Lunenburg and Mechlinburg. In 1722 none of these counties would have existed. Hmmmm this is a bit confusing Brunswick was formed in 1721 and perhaps his land was in that county?
