- TO BE REMOVED:
Re: Nco DB 8 1-5 - The day was not clear on page 1, but I feel comfortable with my transcription "May 1708". I feel strongly that the clerk made a mistake with the date on page 2. I've bolded the dates in my transcription. It is very clear that the court adjourned to "Monday the 17th of this Instant 1708". Then the very next entry has - clearly - 17th of May 1707. Unfortunately on page 4, the last digit of the year was on the edge of the page and not readable.
The fascinating thing was that by copying page 5, I finally saw that the report was spread across two pages - the audit entries at the tops of the pages and the statement by Robert Tucker and Sam: Smith across pages 4a and 5 with two dates, the date of the order - 15 Mar 1707, most surely 1707/8 - then the date of the document 11 May 1708 and record date 17 May 1708. PS
Not sure where I got the date 12th.
Married:
- The couple was married before 12 May 1708 when Alexander petitioned his brother-in-law, James Thelaball, in Norfolk County Court for Sarah's share of her father's estate.
