who's who:
grandson Alexander Ross, selling 220 acres, part of land he had inherited from his grandfather, to Wm Jolliffe Jr. his step-father. His mother Lydia Hollingsworth Ross Jolliffe was the daughter of Stephen Hollingsworth.
Witness Joseph Lupton's (1718) brother John m2 to Ann Neill.
Ann and William Neill (1740) mother was Lydia Hollingsworth (1718), daughter of Abraham Hollingsworth, and 2nd cousin to Lydia H.R. Jolliffe.
Thomas Jones relation is more obscure, esp since there's no record of his wife's maiden name and little on his immediate family. But he seem to have at least indirect connections to the Neills, particularly through the Helms. Elizabeth Neill, a sister to Ann and William, was married to Thomas Helm.

Madden, John Madden; document of surveyed land near Dry Marsh, Frederick County, Virginia -- surveyed and signed by George Washington, Esq.
Trained as a surveyor at Mount Vernon, George Washington began work as a surveyor's assistant in 1748 when he was just sixteen-years-old. Because the neighboring plantation of Belvoir was owned by a member of the Fairfax family, in 1749 Washington was named one of the surveyors of Lord Fairfax's Northern Neck Proprietary of five million acres between the Potomac and Rappahanock Rivers in Virginia. During his three years in service as one of the proprietor's surveyors, Washington prepared this survey of two hundred acres in Frederick County, Virginia, for John Madden.
