Continued from last e-mail. Before the day of computer it was often necessary to go to the source of informaiton, if church records were not available for birth, wills not available, land records might be helpful. This is what I sought when I contacted Records of Deeds, sales and purchases in Rehoboth Mass. and this is what I have used to verify the line of descent from Richard. Often family members were used to witness. Then he sent this Daniel Bullock and Mercy Bullock witnessed by Aaron Thresher and Comfort Bullock. And we Mercy ye wife of Daniel Bullock and Bethiah ye wife of said Comfort Bullock in Testimony of their acquitting of their right of Dower or Power of Thirds in & above demissed premises. In wetness whereof we have here unto et our hands & Seals this Twenty first Day of February in ye year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and niney seven and of American Independence of twenty first signed by Daniel Bullock , Mercy Bullock, Comfort Bullock and Bethiah Bullock, witnessed by David Perry Jr. and Asahse or Afahes Hix and so be it. That's what I have but I don't understand it. Wish I could get to Rehoboth and look into the old records. If you can make anything out of it let me know. Claire
