A transcription about a 1660 crime which was slowly and comparatively lightly punished.

This William’s son William married an aunt of mine, Elizabeth Tucker. Sometimes it’s fun to leave the male ancestor’s name aside and look at the descendants of daughters. William and Elizabeth provided several Revolutionary sons and grandsons.

The word “ord” obviously means ordered.

“Gust” I would like to read for myself from the manuscript.

The word “dept” = deponent.

“French falls”? Falls could be mistranscribed.
