Thank you. That's very interesting. It seems no weight can be given to the fact that "Sara Maycock" is referred to without a title. I will abandon that straw. The information you've given seems to answer the question of whether a child Sarah Maycock could have been granted the 200 acres. Evidently, she could have. Whether she was, is a different question. Thanks very much for posting this information. --------------------------------- Copy addresses and emails from any email account to Yahoo! Mail - quick, easy and free. Do it now...
