In the above document I have followed the spelling with all its peculiarities and variants exactly as written, though I should also state that it is a paper copy and not the original indenture. This copy of the indenture is from a large collection of documents and papers made over one hundred years ago for an intended history of the parishes of Devon, which, owing to the death of the original owner, was never really commenced. I should be very glad if any of your readers could give me any information as to where the original indenture is now to be found.
