The Hanover Records as published were compiled by Rev. S. O. Southall, of Hanover C.H., Virginia. He makes the following correction: "I note in your magazine, Vol. XXI, No. 3, page 154, an omission that should be, I think, corrected. Possibly the fault is mine. The deed, October, 1790, should be The administrators of SIR John Clay. However, I send you herewith a more complete abstract of the deed, that you may see how the title Sir is used, and aid me in determining what it means. 'The decree of the High Court of Chancery', referred to in the deed, can be seen (a copy) in 'The Clay Family' Filson Club publication, page 58; also in the Records of Chesterfield Deed Book, 8, page 175, which shows in a deed from Sir John Clay to John Watkins, that George Hudson married Elizabeth Jennings and had "1. Mary, married John Watkins. "2. Elizabeth, married Sir John Clay, late of Chesterfield, but now of Hanover. "What do you make of it? It could not be a part of his name, for the name John Clay is used in the body of the instrument, and he signs himself 'John Clay'. Remember this is the Rev. John Clay, father of Henry Clay, of Ashland. Several family records of the Clays in my possession, omitting this Sir John Clay, go back in tradition to another Sir John Clay the immigrant. It is all interesting to me, and I can find no solution to it. At any rate it is well to keep the records straight". This Indenture made this the 7th day of October in the year of our Lord Christ one thousand seven hundred and ninety Between Nathaniel Wilkinson surviving Executor of Sir John Clay deceased John Watkins and Mary his wife of the one part and Henry Watkins of the other part Whereas by a Decree of the High Court of Chancery made on the thirtieth day of November in the year of our Lord Christ one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven in a suit brought by the said Nathaniel Wilkinson and Richard Chapman since deceased Executors &c of the said John Clay deceased. George, John, Henry & Peter Clay son and devisees of the said John Clay against the said John Watkins & Mary his wife, Henry Watkins and Elizabeth his wife and Augustine Etham it was ordered by the said court that four hundred & sixty four acres (the Land devised by the will of George Hudson and formerly in the occupation of the said John Clay) should be sold at Public auction to the highest bidder for the purposes mentioned in the said Decree, reference being thereunto had may fully appear, and whereas the said John Clay deceased in pursuance of the said decree on the 4th day of December in the year of Page 130. our Lord Christ 1788 having first advertised the same three weeks in one of the Virgina Gazettes did publickly expose the said Tract of land to sale to the biggest bidder in the manner directed by the said Decree, and the said Henry Watkins having bid the sum of four hundred and thirty two pounds thirteen shillings & a penny half penny for the said Tract of land the same was fairly struck out to him as the highest bidder for that sum it being the msot that could be got for the same. Now therefore this Indenture witnesseth that the said Nathaniel Wilkinson surviving Executor of the said John Clay deceased, John Watkins & Mary his wife in obedience to the said Decree and four and in consideration of the said sum of four hundred and thirty two pounds thirteen shillings & a penny half penny to the said Nathaniel Wilkinson and John Watkins, or either of them in hand paid by the said Henry Watkins &c do sell to said Henry Watkins that tract of land in the county of Hanover and Parish of St. Paul on Machumps Creek con- taininig by estimation four hundred and sixty four acres &c. Signed Nathl Wilkinson. John Watkins.
