Notes

Note: I visited Bermuda in September of 1997. The trip was planned for leisure, however, could not resist visiting the archives in Hamilton to research the DURHAM line. I photo-copied several documents, most of which were already in my possession. Returned home and promptly misplaced the file. In January of 2001, staff rearranged the office and uncovered the misplaced file, "Bermuda Trip".

I was delighted to rediscover the documents and immediately proceeded to abstract these references to amplify existing research. Document after document reiterated the existing research. I added only a jot and tittle to what was already known. One knows how numbing repetitive journal entries can be. After many sources checked and cross-checked and with nothing much new and was glad finally to come to the last reference...

Excerpted from, "A Calendar of Early Bermuda Deeds and other entries in Bermuda Colonial Records",Volume 5A, 1618-1680,edited by Peter D. Garrod, M.A.,Bermudan Archives,p. 63,abstracted by David A. Hennessee:
