I have nowtranscribed all of the court documents I could find on the John Axton & Mary Mansell Blagrave land dispute 1686-1687 Stafford Co VA. The web address is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bettysboneyard/AxtonBlagrave.htmlhttp://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bettysboneyard/AxtonBlagrave.html
From the records it appears that Mary Mansell/Mansfield Blagrave, who as a widow remarried to a Mr Heard/Hard/ Hoard, contrived with her son? nephew? (referred to in documents as "Sonne in law) Henry Blagrave of New Kent Co VA to sell the 600 acres (that had been sold in 1660 to John Axton & Edwrd Cary) to John Gowry & wife Rachel --even though she knew that it still belonged to John Axton.
Very Interesting!
