The term "et ux" was used in formal writings where it was helpful to the reader to reveal that the wife was a party to the business relationship, yet where her given name was not required, as in many contracts, particularly in courts' orders, minute books, and entries, and occasionally in deeds where her precise identity was not necessary to the transfer. It was a term of description and used as an adjective. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ms2001@aol.com To: VAROOTS-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 10:41 PM Subject: Re: [VAROOTS] UX HARVEY Can you tell us how it was used?
