Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

I am trying to do some research on restrictions on our deed in Augusta County VA. My understanding is that if property is split from 71 acres, to 66 acres and 5 acres that the deed at the time of the split is considered the original deed for the 5 acres. Our neighbor who owns the 66 acres said that he thinks there are restirctions on the five acres. I looked through the deed books and found nothing on the actual five acres. What is the reality of the situation?

First, it would seem advisable to inquire as to the source of this

neighbor's information regarding these alleged restrictions on the

five acres and to determine whether they can be verified. Until such

inquiry is made and a response received, "the reality of the situation"

as described is basically not determinable(in my opinion).
