The Map for John Hall is the abbreviation for Massachusetts. In old script the double s looks like a p. Diane Hall

Diane, Thank you!!! I knew I was missing something, but I just couldn't see it. I'm teaching myself (I don't have a very good teacher!) how to decipher old handwriting by searching for the same letter on a name or word I know. Most of the time I manage fairly well, but sometimes I run into something I just can't get......maybe I should invest in a book of instruction? Because I hate mysteries that don't end in a solution!
