BINFOED FAMILY GENEALOGY
On -March 4, 1703, Queen Ann and William Kandolph granted a patent to James Binford for 261 acres of land south of James River in Prince George County at the price of 2 Ibs. of tobacco per acre. This patent was made at the
court house in Charles City County on the above date and was signed over by Alexander Spotswoodj Lieutenant-Governor of the Dominion of Virginia, at Williamsburg 6th mo. 16th, 1714. Later James Binford is granted 150 acres. This James Binford fits in nicely to be the son of Anthony, the brother of Huldah and he father of John, Thomas and Peter. Charles City County included all of Prince George County before 1703 and their records were burned during the Civil War, so we lose out on some of the county records. Charles City now has a lot of Quaker records at their Genealogy Center at the Courthouse (sic Gene Harris)

BINFORD HISTORY
James Binford of Biehmond, Virginia, found in the English Blue Book, one Joe Binford came to America on a certain vessel from England in 1635. This is the first Binford we find mentioned in the records in the United States. All the Binfords came from England. They lived in Kent County. Some have come over long since the first ones came.

In the Land Patent Office of the State House in Richmond, Virginia, I find one Anthony Binford received 320 acres of land in Lower Norfolk County, Virginia, from Governor Berkeley on Nov. 5, 1665. The same books show that John Ladd received 7,524 acres in Lower Norfolk County Sept 24, 1667. Thus early in history do we find the Binfords and Ladds living side by side and becoming warm friends. The marriages between the two families are so numerous that it is almost as one blood. On 4th mo. 7th, 1700, at a Monthly Meeting held at William Porter's, William Ladd\emdash a son of John, who entered the 7,524
