inlcuding some names of officers (it wasn't a very big operation). They
come from a book called "Trade and Empire" and I will pass along the
publication info shortly.

There in an Appendix, in 1710, is William Fassit, customs surveyor in
"Wicomico and Munni" district in Maryland (I'll provide other names when I
can scan the text).

So my question: what the heck, or where in heaven's name, is "Munni" ?

Could they be referring to Monie, in Somerset County?
