As usual my brain and typing fingers didn't stay in tune with each other. The first date should have read 14 March 1708/09. George Turner and Amor Viah were made overseers but the return says "The lands of James Blackwell Senr, Geo Turner, Benja Buckley the Widdow Thompson, Gabriel Heath, John Barnet, and Amor Viah being made one precinct, of which the said Geo Turner, and Amor Viah, were appointed Overseers". Sorry about typing the wrong date for Amor. Judy
