>From the same book as previous post: Deed Book 1 1688-1704 (pg. 172) 6 Aug 1695... John LUTHER and wife, Mary LUTHER, to Richard BEALE... 20 acres (being part of the land Ambrose BENNETT willed to said Luther's wife) bounded by LUTHER, Giles DRIVER, Ambrose BENNETT and Richard REYNOLDS' old plantation whereon Robert DRIVER now lives. Wit: WILLIAM BRADSHAW, ELIZABETH (X) BRADSHAW and Theop(X) JOYNER John LUTHER Mary (X) LUTHER One way to separate these people with the same names is to get copies of these deeds, wills, etc. and see which ones could write and which ones couldn't. I noticed this Elizabeth apparantly signed with an X, whereas another Elizabeth signs with a different form of mark. This Elizabeth may or may not be the same one, but without copies of the ORIGINAL documents there is no way to know if the same mark was used or if it's a different mark. If you have copies of original documents, checking the signatures of the Benjamin's, John's, Elizabeth's, etc. is a very good way to see if they are one and the same or not. Hope this helps someone.
