Just ran across the following from Orange Co, VA, 1751:  "The Pet[ition]
of William Donaught Humbly Begs that your Worships will allow me my
Tobacco for Sucker Hunting Last year according to the list I sent your
worships . . ."  "Sucker hunting"???

 

Any clues from the learned listers?

 

Please pardon the cross-post.

 

Cheers.
