Part 614s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – Indenture Research – 1800 James, Robert, and William Smith – Saint Patrick – Schedule A

Good Day,

Have you ever had a strange dream, awakened, then tried to get back to sleep so you could finish the dream? I did… and I couldn’t. And all I could remember was that I lost my shoes, had forgotten the roses, and had to pick up the cake… and there were this troupe of pear-shaped cloggers scheduled to perform. And what this has to do with genealogy or the search for my ggg-grandfather James Smith, hell if I know… But it certainly was some strange dream.




And I continue with my Transcription Project, searching for the hint or clue that could lead me to a shred of evidence to the ancestry and genealogy of ggg-grandfather James.

The next entered, on 2 April 1801, is I believe the Schedule A as referred to in my most recent few Postings. There is a difference which I really will not go into too much detail but I thought in the previous Document there was reference to Ten Parts, whereas in this two-page Schedule A, the reference is to eight Parts.

Here are the two Pages, 32 and 33, as downloaded from Item 3 of the microfilm FHL [1563378].

And my transcription -
