Transcriber's notes

The Authority Name John Drefe's surname has varied spelling in this volume: Dryfe, Drife, Drefe.

BARR
- Best I can do with the ditto's here in Various modes, is to assign Barpark to authority George Osborne.
- One of the authors commonly uses a 'comma' for 'apostrophe' - I have so transcribed.

An entry for PYOTSHAW MOSS has been struck out with the comment:
"The name known only to the Tenant
it is unnecessary, as being a patch
of Rough pasture."
