On 9 April 1749, Mary Walters, widow of John Walters, conveyed to Benjamin Cannon and Susannah her interest in land devised to her for life by her husband in a will dated 30 Sept. 1734. Henrico Co. VA Deeds, 1737-1750, p. 100. Benjmain Cannon of Albemarle Co. and Susannah then conveyed to Richard Cottrel of Henrico a plantation with all land in Henrico Co. devised by John Walters to his son John after the death of his wife. The land was on the south side of East branch. Because John Walters Jr. died without issue and Mary surrendered her life estate, the plantation descended to Benjamin Cannon and Susanna Cannon in right of the wife, and to James Conway and Anne his wife in right of the wife, co-heirs and sisters of John Walters, Jr. Benjamin Cannon and Susannah sold their 1/2 part of the land to Cottrel.
