Sure did! As a matter of fact, Virginia and Pennsylvania almost went to war over who owned the area now called Pittsburgh.

It's now called West Virginia. The split occurred in the War Between the States.

I'd say yes, considering that Virginia's land claims actually included part of what later became Pennsylvania.

According to these maps no. however if you extend their border through the Proclamation line of 1763, yes they did.
