Land Patents at Library of Virginia
For those with an interest in land patents in Virginia, the Library of Virginia has an index on their site. The nice thing about this index is that searches also pull up references to the name in the metes and bounds description, not just the name of the person receiving the patent.

One thing to note. It is always important to download the image of the patents - very often names of people, watercourses, etc. were not ALL indexed. And there are errors in transcription.
