      NOTE: all of the patent to Joseph Woolfolk went to his sons Joseph Woolfolk, Jr (m Christian Bibb) and Thomas Woolfolk (m Mary Sutherland) we can account for 500 acres to each son which they or their children sell the land, they clearly identify it as the land of Joseph Woolfolk (patent land)
