It's worth remembering that "Ag Lab" covered numerous skills e.g. wheelwrights.  So if someone had a successful business in a trade that was not apprenticed and classed as Ag Lab by the instructions of the early census then it isn't such a leap to see how they could possibly buy a bit of land.

P.S. A gentleman is someone who treats all women like ladies.

It takes one generation to make it and the next three to spend it...

Did your Ag Lab inherit money/land from a relative


Just a thought..
