Henry, I'm not questioning your source or data.  I'm trying to learn what 
was deemed to be 'cash' in these pre-RW Virginian records.  There were a 
number of Spanish and other countries' coins around but economic historians 
indicate these were in insufficient quantity for common use throughout the 
colonies -- and the stability and general use of Virginia's paper currency 
is suspect per my prior post and many other sources.  I'll continue 
searching, this is intriguing.
