Note

The record of this Court has become corrupted. The first account has been damaged and has then been copied a second time. Between the two is a block of three proclamations which are marked 1711 but would appear to belong to 1710 (in particularly the reference to the second call for the heirs of Richard Raven (deceased) to come to Court. The record of this 1711 Court assumes that a second proclamation has taken place.
The Court of October 22nd 1712 recorded that the third proclamation for heirs of Mary Amyas to attend Court had occurred at the Court held on October 19th 1710.
