Edward Garland was a wealthy planter in St. Paul's Parish in New Kent
County, VA. During his lifetime the name of New Kent County was changed
to Hanover County.
Edward owned more than 5,000 acres of land. Much of this land had been
granted to him in 1714 for the expense of bringing 95 settlers over from
England to Virginia. This land included 1808 acres on the south side of
the North River, 1343 acres on the banks of the Little River stretching
to the mouth of Beaver Dam Creek, and 1513 acres on the southwest side of
Taylor's Creek down Elk Branch to its mouth.
A will dated 14 March 1719 shows that Edward left the bulk of his estate
to his wife and their son Edward.
