Trusts, LLCs, estates and mailing addresses
Owner fields on county records aren't always a person: land near Lexington may be held by a trust, an LLC, a partnership or an estate. Look at where the tax bill goes for land near Glasgow: a bank or law office address near East Lexington hints at a trust or an estate, worth noting before you write. Records for land near Glasgow reflect the assessor's last update, which means a deed filed this season may be missing.
Confirming ownership with the deed
Before money changes hands near Lexington, back up the county map with the recorded deed. If the Rockbridge County record lists no document number, search the grantor-grantee index by the owner's name.

More clues on a Rockbridge County record
If the county record shows two names joined by 'and' or '&', the piece of ground near Lexington may be held jointly, so both owners may need to sign any agreement.
