What's the date of the document?  I suspect that old letter-forms have
fooled you about the spelling.  Could the "l" be a long "s"?  Could the
"o" be an inverted "e" (17th-18th century)?  Could the "p" be a double
"s"?  There are also other possibilities.

Dear Listers:

What is "alsop"? My document states "...and to leave a proportional part
of said plantation clear of alsop...."

Thanks,   Diana
