This interesting document is given above in full and as exactly as ordinary typography will admit. Some question has been raised as to whether the last three names -- Marke REEVE, Edward WEBB and Elizabeth WAITES -- were servants of Edward CHAMPNEYS, or were additional passengers, and it is pointed out that Marke REEVE almost immediately became the purchaser of extensive tracts of land, which he could hardly have done, if he had come out as a servant. It is also suggested that the second "vizd" is repeated in the sense of "aforesaid." The reader must judge for himself the context. PAGE 591 Salem Deeds, No. 5. Salem Deeds, No. 5. 1688-9 Jan. 27.
