Please sumbit a proposal and we will see how it fits with the mix.

> brothers Richard and John in London. Job established
> Chandler's Hope Manor in Portobacco, where he is

> (2) I have discovered Job's parents and most of his

> church records and monuments and notes in
> King's/Queen's Council records showing Anglo-VA and
> Anglo-Maryland spread over more than 50 years - ca.
> 1628-1691.

> Would something of this nature - perhaps with a brief
> general discussion of the mercantile life of the 17th
> century - be of interest and/or qualify for the
