<p>[QUOTE="smallaxe, post: 4430365, member: 13430"]I'm pretty sure that sentence reads "...doth let unto the said Philip Rishal his heirs and assigns two fields situated in...". It's standard language that means what he gets out of the agreement goes to his heirs at his passing, and can be assigned to someone else. I've spent a lot of time reading 18th and 19th century script. When there are two 's' letters together, the first one is written like an f, and the second one like an s. Jesse, for example would look like Jefse or Jepe (the the first and second s together sometimes looks like a p).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
