Many thanks indeed to Terry for the documents transcribed below, for they include "£3 18 0" arrears paid to my ancestor Abraham Bergmann. It's one of only a few extant references to him. Although I already knew about this entry (it is included in Hank Jones), it's very interesting for me to see it in the context of the other items in these accounts - especially as he is the only Palatine to whom arrears were apparently paid at the time. (If only we had the faintest idea of WHY he was paid them - or WHERE he was living - ie Courtmatrix/Ballingrane/Killeheen? No-one knows ! We just have to be grateful for what we've got!) Anyway Terry, your transcriptions have helped at least one lister here, and I'm very grateful indeed. Anyone else learned anything new?
