Transcriber's Notes:
In transcribing I have tried to keep the original case size of each word
and spelling of this document and have not changed any punctuation or any
known abbreviations.
Several words were abbreviated.
ats - seems to be "also known as" or an alias
Jona * A?ison could be Arnison or Amison
ats * Bouchior - could be Bouchion
*Dizzington - could be Dixxington or possibly Dissington
