Dear All, I have come across another land transaction, this one unusually from Joseph Sackett to Daniel Bloomfield. This may have been an adjustment of land to make more convenient and logical holdings, a practice which it seems from the large number of exchanges of land in the early Newtown records was quite common. This record is also of interest in that refers to DB as "my unKell daniell blomfeild".
