[3] It is possible that Sir George Yeardley held the 1,000 acre parcel on the south end of Mulberry Island, which would be known as Stanley Hundred as early as 1621, based on land patents.
[7] Sir George Yeardley died on 12 November 1627 and his widow sold his land in Stanley Hundred on 9 February 1628 to a Lieutenant Thomas Flint.
Thomas and Mary Flint conveyed their title to the 1,000 acres in Stanley Hundred to a merchant named John Brewer in January 1629.
At this point in time Stanley Hundred had enough residents to send two men to represent the area at the House of Burgesses, including John Brewer.
On 7 March 1918, the US Army bought the entirety of Mulberry Island (including the area of Stanley Hundred) and the surrounding land for $538,000 as part of the military build-up for World War I.
