Chichester Sturdivant would have been about age 74 when he was involved in this last suit. No further reference appears in the Amelia County Order Books.
Probably Chichester Sturdivant was living in what is present Dinwiddie County in the area of White Oak Swamp near the Amelia/Nottoway County line. He probably died not long after 1741.
Dinwiddie County was formed from Prince George County in 1752, and the records of both counties are gone in the 1740-60 period.
John1 Sturdivant did have land on City Creek which is in the present northwestern corner of Prince George County. In a 1663 record a tract of land is described as “to John Sturdivant his lyne which runneth to the head of Citty Creek.” This land probably passed to his son Chichester after his death. Chichester Sturdivant then deeded the land to his two sons.
