They are in the library of the York County Historical Society now the York Heritage Trust library. The next time I go there I will check and see if any you mention are there. Its possible that James named his son Sampson after the Rev. Sampson Smith. there are 2 James Smiths is in Hopewell in the 1779 tax record. One has land and the other doesn't. He is called Jr in larer tax records and may or may not be the son of James with land. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
