Dear Group,

Thought some of you would get a chuckle from the way they wrote up this
entry in 1742:

1742 11 May #2820 pg 218 Matthew WILLIAMS 321ac in Bertie County
Between Subsisting and Imaginary Country lines, joining Thomas PAGE in the
old Imaginary Country line, the new subsisting Country line, Peter GARLAND,
William W___can't read the rest...cathy

This is about the time Northampton was formed...It just struck me
funny...because the whereabouts of my William BRYAN seems to be imaginary too.

from Margaret Hofmann,"Colony of NC 1735-1764 " Vol 1 Crown To: Patent Book 5
