Thanks, Paul. This is indeed interesting. Those Isle of Wight records are treasures. Dorothy C.

Hi, Ms. Dorothy, I believe that was Surry (see the very bottom of the document), though while married to Hunt they lived in Isle of Wight. She moved to Surry when she married Richard Parker. Genealogy without documentation is nothing. Paul Drake JD Genealogist & Author <www.DrakesBooks.com>
