Since the plat is hard to read, I've tried to transcribe the information.
Bedford County- Plat of the division of Cold Camp
The above is a plat of a tract of land in the county, afforesaid, and .... upon the margin of the ... of the James River * Kanawha Canal, opposite to Holcomb Rock and Persimmon Island, and adjoined the lands of Nathaniel Manson, William W Major and James ..... and contained by ... Nancy and ..... 2491/2 acres. It being the tract owned by the late Palatine R. Tinsley, ... was surveyed and the house of ? late Lousia Tinsley, laid off b y Commisioner Hiram Cheatwood, William, W Jamjor and James Perrow in obedience ... order of the county court of Bedford made at the August 1842. The portion marked A of the 56 acres on which the Mansion house stands has app.. to Mrs. Harris and the balance of that portion marked B of 190 3/2 has laid off and assigned to Spottwood B. Tinlsey son and heir to the said Palatine R. Tinsley died. Surveys and dower laid off February of 1853.
Interesting on this- I had not noticed that the creek which is down by what is now called Fisherman's corner, right across from the actual rock, was called Coldcamp Branch. I once tried to walk the perimeter shown on this plat, but some of the markings are either gone, hidden or farther than I thought.
James Harris was the administrator of the Palatine R. Tinsley estate.
