Hi Kim, et al, What is your opinion... now that we have complete document? Does it appear that perhaps Capt Roger Smith, [and the other men listed] appeared in court to validate/testify in behalf of minor child Sarah's right to father Samuel's land? Or am I reading something into this that has no validity? Opinions requested... ~Kathlynn~ In a message dated 7/1/2006 11:08:15 PM Central Standard Time, Zapnyou@aol.com writes: Transcribed: VIIIth day of May 1626 A courte held the viiith day of May 1626 beinge p[?]fent Sr ffrancis Wyatt Knight Gournor &c, Capt ffranis Weft Capt Roger Smith Capt Samuel Mathewes Mr William Cleybourne.
