Notes :
Barbara found a list of renters who signed a 21 yr lease with Abercorn and transcribed all the information into this table. These rental books
were updated every 21 years with various accumulated notes in between, so contain a wealth of information AND present an accurate
picture of who was where and when on the Abercorn Estate in the late 1700s.
Thankyou Barabara!
