hastened by an unusual number of destructive fires which 

 occurred about this time, by which old farm buildings were 

 destroyed on various parts of the estates. Most of the buildings

 unknown. 



As examples of the rolls I will give transcripts of those for 

 1765, dated respectively May ist and October 2 2nd, supple- 

 menting them with extracts from later rolls ; some of them, in 

 order to save space, condensed and placed between brackets to 

 distinguish them from the transcripts. The old spelling is 

 retained, and the lack of punctuation is not rectified.
