NOTE: Spelling is as shown on original.  Paragraphing was added by the
transcriber for ease in reading.  There are no paragraphs on the original
document.

NOTE:  The document was drawn up in Gune (June) of 1738 and presented in court
in Jan 1738. It seems to me that the presentation in court would occur after
June and should be 1739, however it clearly says "January 1738."
