Thank you, Bill. I have cross-referenced CAIN and ARRENTON and this is the only time they appear on the same entry. >From Book # 100 1408 pg 453 BENJAMIN ARRENTON 12 Nov 1779 150 acres on Horse Pen Branch, joining DENNIS LENNEN, Arrenton's line, and JOHN OVELER 1428 pg 473 POLECAT JOHN CAIN 12 Nov 1779 100 acres on the E side of the Dreans (Drains?) of __arrison's (?)

I'm including your post to Ancestry.com on 19 Dec 2000 as follows: > Well, it was either do something potentially useful or bake > Christmas cookies. > > From # 100, Margaret Hofmann's new book (volume one).

Then follows the list which included the entry: BENJAMIN ARRENTON The name Polecat John CAIN was also on this same list following several down from ARRENTON. It seems that CAIN and ARRINGTON/ ARRENTON were connected somehow. Let me know if this helps you place the specific book [Hofmann, vol. 1]. Thanks again so very much!
