I assume that the grantee indexes failed to show who the later owners acquired the property from? Another potential source of property records would be the early Massachusetts Acts and Resolves, which were also used to transfer confiscated properties (traitors being one group). They have name and subject indexes - your best bet would be to look under Salem ("cities and towns" - "towns" - Salem), since that will give you a birds eye view of Salem Acts and Resolves. Then look under any names that might be associated with the transactions. Good luck! _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
