Edward,
No Felste(a)d appear in the index.
You mention Penn. Read also "pen", i.e. an area which is enclosed. Many of
the plantations/areas were named Pen, i.e. Cape Clear Pen, Burrowfield Pen,
Bucks Pen etc. etc.
I have had a cursory look at some of the maps (copies of originals) using a
magnifying glass but Felstead does not appear. However, I will start listing
all names requested that are not indexed and then will go through the book
and try and pick some of them up in one go. Otherwise too time consuming to
do them individually.
