I think if I could get a few definitions, the "road orders" of various counties 
would become a little more meanful.

For instance, "View the way" was a task assigned to individuals in a county, 
how they were selected is not mentioned.  "Male Labouring Titheables" I 
assume are the workers assigned to create the roadbed?  "Overseers of the 
roads" and "Surveyor of the road" were these men the closest in the area of 
the road or were these positions actually sought after?

As my ancestors were on the road order lists, any information or best guess 
would be helpful.
