-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] In this case, the tax lists are helpful since there is not a single James Smith in the tax lists for Bogerternorton through 1740 or Baltimore 100 for that matter.. There is however a likely John Smith in Bogerternorton . I agree, I am calling this one for JOHN Smith! _____ Eh? The John Smith of the will certainly appears in Baltimore Hundred, e.g. in 1739, household 1, as "Capt. John Smith". All his land was in Baltimore [and now-Sussex] NE of Assawoman Bay, on Inlet Creek (alias Turkey Branch). It would also seem that his son John is there in 1740, where he's supposed to be. Of course, afterwards this area was no longer covered by the Somerset lists. John
Yikes! Baltimore 100 yes! Thanks for the correction.
