Dear Breedlove cousins, Below is a full extract of the deed from Thomas Alliman to his daughter Judith Parr. This deed is important as it not only gives the name of the wife of Thomas Allaman [Contiten], but shows that Mary Parr [the grandmother of us all, who married Charles Breedlove] is the granddaughter of Thomas Allaman and is born by the date the deed was written [3 Aug. 1696]. The third Parr daughter, Constant, likely was not yet born, or she would have been mentioned by name in this deed. The 4th Parr daughter [Ann] was not born until after the date of her father, Phlip Parr's will [30 Dec. 1699] as Philip in his will calls her "the child my wife now goes with". Please note that in my posting yesterday, I incorrectly said the deed below was witten 6 Sept. 1686--THAT was the date Thomas Allaman first purchased the land from William Dudley. We don't actually know WHEN the deed was written, but Thomas Allaman acknowledged it on 3 Aug. 1696. I have earlier & later Thomas Allaman records, also.
