More new additions (& minor correction) to Maynard's great list of Charles City County, Virginia documents. These are from Weisiger's "Charles City County, Virginia Court Orders 1687-1695 With A Fragment of a Court Order Book for the Year 1680." I recall Maynard talking with me about the fact that he found discrepancies between two different versions of Benjamin Weisiger's transcriptions, and him consulting with Weisiger's son, Minor, who works in the Library of Virginia. The differences were something Minor said would have to be studied. I haven't heard any "rest of the story" so suspect that study has not yet been completed. Below I offer additions from the version I'm examining, which did not appear in Maynard's listing. My notations are in square brackets. 1680 Fragment [minor correction: in the text of this item, Maynard had a typo and put "1689" where it should be "1680" Note that since this was recorded in Feb 1680, we now refer to the date as Feb 1680/81] [These next 2 entries are on pages not many pages after the one Maynard listed for p.361 on 3 Aug 1691, involving Geo. Woodleiffe and Jno. Poythress. By the dates on these next two entries, these would appear to be from the same February court date as the ones Maynard has regarding Rebecca Poythress and a deed for land, both of which are shown as being on "p.150." However, the transcription I'm looking at does not have those 2 entries he found, and I don't see these next 2 entries in his listing. Confused? Join the club.] p.385 Court at Westopher [sic] 3rd February 1691 [thus 1691/92] In suit of Cha. Bartholomew, assignee of Mrs. Rebecca Poythress, agst James Denson, and deft. not appearing, an order is granted agst Sherr, for £10 p.390 A Court at Westopher [sic] for Charles City 3rd March 1691 [thus 1691/92] Judgement granted Charles Bartholmew, assignee of Mrs. Rebecca Poythress, agst James Denson for £6

Minor showing little enthusiasm for such a job, I cobbled the two lists together and reconciled the entries as appeared practical. Actually, aside from minor issues of timing, none of the contradictions were of consequence. Below I offer additions from the version I'm examining, which did not appear in Maynard's listing.
