Maybe it was the other way around.
In April 1673 Flowerdew Hundred was divided:
CC Order Bk 19 Nov 1677 Court at Westover
Where as at the death of Jno Barker of Flowerdew hundred all the tract of land known as Flowerdew hundred did descend to Sarah then the wife of Richard Taylor, dec'd, and now the wife of Robt. Lucy, and to Elizabeth the wife of Phillip Lymbry, sister and co-heir with the sd. Jno. Barker who since sd. Barker's decease have held the land in co-partnership at inconvenience to themselves and detriment of the land. Now the sd. Lucy & wife and the sd. Lymbry & wife do wish the land divided and have appealed to the court by mutual consent. Coll. Robt. Winn & Lt. Coll. Geo. Jordan are empowered by court order dated 3 Apr. 1677, to do so. Jas. Minge, surveyor, has been instructed to lay out the bounds dividing sd. Flowerdew hundred into two equal parts, the north land bordering the James River and Macock's land belonging to Dorothy, wife of Hubbert Farrel; the other being a line of stakes parting the sd. Flowerdew hundred in two parts. The south part is bordered by the east side of James River by Flowerdew hundred Creek, by Macock's and by the above line of stakes. A plan was drawn of the two halves, these 2 plans framed, put into a hat, a child drew them out and gave one showing the north part to the sd. Robt. Lucy & Sarah, his wife, and the south part to Phillip Limbry and Elizabeth, his wife, the parties having agreed to abide by the division & the drawing. 4 April 1673.

A few months later, on 3 November 1673, Robert Lucy and his stepson Richard Taylor patented adjoining tracts on the Blackwater "at a place called Saw Tree." (Patent Bk 6 p488)I can't read Richard Taylor's patent but transcripts indicate the land he was patenting had been patented by Richard Sr before he died, and this was a re-patent.
26 Feb 1675James Wallace patented 738 acres on the Blackwater "at the east end of Robt Lucy's land."(Patent Bk 6 p553)
20 Sep 1683 Thomas Anderson patented land "in the County of Charles Citty, and in ye P'ish of Westopher, and on the South side of James River, Viz. beginning att a corner white oake, standing on the Line of Robert Lucy ... crossing Mr. Wallises path ... " (Patent Bk 7 p303).
It has been deduced by sundry (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/a/n/d/PATRICK-J-ANDERSON/GENE1-0001.html) that Wallis's path ran between his two tracts of land -- the land he got through marrying Wheeler's widow, (which was pretty near the Pace land) and the land he patented on the Blackwater.It looks like there was pretty steady traffic between the plantations around the Flowerdew Hundred area, and the plantations along the Blackwater long before John Butler married Mary Wallace.
Richard Taylor's sister Frances married Richard Bradford and Richard Pace's daughter Rebecca married their grandson.It all seems pretty straightforward, remarkably so considering the loss of the records.
