I just love it when peek at the texts files. I have this in Lancaster
Lovett's file from Charles:

"Lancaster Lovett is first recorded in America on 6 Apr. 1638 when he was
ordered to pay 400 lbs of Tobaco to Thomas Bullocke. The court of Lower
Norfolk recognised that Lancaster Lovett had payed the transportation of
four persons to the Colony on 30 Nov. 1640. On 21 October 1651 he was
granted 600 acres of land in Linnhaven parrish, Lower Norfolk county,
Virginia.
He was a member of the Church of England where, before 1654, he was elected
a church Warden. Records of Lower Norfolk county show that he hunted wolves
and collected the bounty on them. His descendants were many and they lived
in Lower Norfolk county for many years."

This does not mean that he did not suddenly feel his oats and become a
Quaker later than 1654, but did he?
