Transcriber's notes
[Header:] I transcribed '6 over 14' as 6/14.BARR PLANTATION - in Descriptive Remarks, at 'hence the name', there is a strike out and correction which is faint, and therefore may have been erased. It starts 'from which'.
John Drife - Authority. There is some ambiguity in the spelling of the name. Most other pages have 'John Dryfe', this page has both Drife and Drefe - with the 'i' being written very similar to 'e'; there may be a correction on BARR PLANTATION to 'e'.
