Good Day,And then there is the 5th of six Parts of this 1800 Document that I have transcribed; Pages 61 through and including 66 from the Grenada Registers of Records.
All-things-being-equal I have not stumbled upon a direct connection to ggg-grandfather James Smith. Three possible Smiths, James, Robert, and William… right era and years; correct location… and Grenada is not that big a land mass, considering. You would think that by now, but no. Our last name is Smith!
This may be my research and search project to locate information and hints about the origins and genealogy of my ggg-grandfather James Smith, but I am certainly amazed of the details and information of other Family entities that are jam-packed into these Documents and Records. One of the key Families included in this Document is the Scott Family, and the information appears to cover countries in Europe and the West Indies.
Here are the images of the next six pages; 61 through and including 66, downloaded from Item 3 of the microfilm FHL [1563378].

And now on to the final six Pages; 67 through and including 72.
