Footnotes
- It was recorded the the Rev. George Henry Turner purchased both freehold and copyhold lands formerly of John Curson, inherited from Robert Curson. Considering that there are 10 acres of freehold land shown in the above map, owned by Robert Curson, adjacent to the copyhold land mentioned in the Court Roll, Rev. George Henry Turner probably acquired the ten acres as well. ↩︎
- A marginal note recorded that F.J. Ringer was admitted to this land at the Court held on January 19th 1895. ↩︎
- This debt was declared to the Steward of the Court to have been discharged in a document which was enrolled on March 11th 1896. ↩︎
