His plantation thought to be on the north bank of the Rappahannock River across the river from Port Royal in Essex Co. In 1727 this part of Essex Co. became Caroline Co. Many of the friends, relatives and neighbors of the William Alsop family gradually acquired land on the other side of the Rappahannock River in Caroline Co.
