Neither version says that land is to go to "Mrs Samuel Maycock". In the first version, land is due for four servants brought over on the account of "Mr Samuel Maycock" and the land is to go to "Sara Maycock". In the second version, land is due for four servants brought over on the account of "Mrs Samuel Maycock". The name of the person who is to have the land is omitted. So the second version can't be an accurate transcription of the original record. --------------------------------- All new Yahoo!

The second version -- the one that omits the grantee's name -- appears to be the version posted by Ruth Keys Clark in this forum on 23 Feb 2003. There is a later posting by Ruth Clark (19 May 2004) which also refers to the same record. In this posting, Ruth says that the record reads "in part" as follows: "“It is ordered y’t Sara Maycock for fower servants brought over in the ‘Abigail uppon accoupt of Mr. Samuel Maycock shall have two hundred acres of land to be taken upp by her in any place not formerly taken upp." This agrees with the transcript from the Virginia Magazine. --------------------------------- The all-new Yahoo!
