Mornin', Paul. Catching up on my mail while I fuel up on my first cup of
coffee and I'm thinking I just wandered into the middle of a conversation
I know very little about but have been counting on what I think I know
for a number of assumptions I've been operating on.
What's been stuck in my head about headrights is that the 50 acres per
isn't granted until 7 years after the uhmm 'transportee' was transported.
[This to assure the would-be citizen "stuck" in order to populate the
colony, I supposed.]
I've collected a number of these weird things (in surveyor-speak, I'll
bet) from the web and I'm hoping it's not rotten research for me to
assume from the following patent that these guys
-Edm. Marshall, John Fludd, Edm. Tedmund/Edmunds?, Samll. Cattan, William
Russell, Willm. Savadge, Richard Browne, Edward Buderhill-
- arrived here at least by 1641.
What say ye?
