-- [ From: Jackson H. Day * EMC.Ver #3.1a INTERNATIONAL ] -- Lisa, intrigueing note about David Beall. I too worked back, but I placed him earlier. He had two daughters who m. in 1730, I figured the youngest of them had to be no younger than 18, or b. 1712, so the older was b. 1710. I made David be married the previous year, or 1709, and made him 21 at the time, which made his birthdate be 1688. At best a good guess, but helpful for grouping him among contemporaries. I looked in my DB and found no David of any kind born between 1600 to 1700. So this David is a new line. Don't know where he came from. My intepretation of AALR IH&TI#1:67 would be as follows: Anne Arundel Land Records, Liber (Book) IH&TI#1, Folio (Page) 67. The clerks who kept the books numbered them by their initials, so I'd guess there were a pair of clerks working these books, their initials were, respectively, IH and TI, and this was the first of the land record books they tracked. Don't know if it's the correct interpretation, but it may be useful anyway! Jack Day
