My dating is derived from the court records trying to adjust to the new dating system. Just to note that in my column heading "Court Events," I just summarized their reason for being in the court records, some individuals have more information & others less. In some instances under this heading you will see an event followed by a number in parenthesis, this is to indication how many times in that year that they served that function. In my "Misc Notes" column, I added differences in spellings that occur for a particular individual's surname that appear in the records; additionally there are other notes dealing w/ family relationships and so on. When it is noted under the occupation as an individual being an "Attorney," this does not necessarily mean that they had the education or degree for that profession. Rather, the notation indicates when that specified individual was assigned attorney rights by another individual. 1669-70 Title First Name Last Name Age Occupation Court Event Misc Notes =============================================================================================================================================== Isack Abrahams administrator of James Edwards estate Jacob Acost action of debt against Christopher Walters estate George Alembys to be paid out of levy Robertt Alexander George Alldredg awarded gun out of Christopher Walters estate;
