Note: We have various documents regarding land transactions by
Matthias
Andis (Polly Shutters's grandfather) and his heirs. They include purchase,
sale and
distribution of land in Washington Co, VA. These are very important
documents
to our research, as they conclusively tie Matthias, his
children, and his grandchildren together.
