Hello Everyone,

I am hoping that one of you have some sort of a definition (in terms of size,
etc.) of what a "Hundred", ie Bermuda Hundred, Pocomoke Hundred, etc.   I
understand that it originally dates from medieval times having to do with the
number of males that could be available to fight, but was once also given a
rather long winded definition based strictly on size.

Thanks in advance.

Janet Hunter
