James McLaughlin (McGloughlin1) was granted 225 acres in Prince William County (then Stafford County), Virginia, in 17252. The land was located between Broad Run and Bull Run, perhaps near present-day Manassas, Virginia. (See parish and county information here.) James also appeared in the Stafford County, Virginia, land records in 1727 when he entered into a deed agreement3. Also listed on the deed were a son, Charles, and James’ wife, Mary.
