indicate ditto. These columns have been omitted.

numbers in the order in which they were listed.
? 16 Under ALLEGIANCE COLUMN, it looks like Hemsloce (?)
? 26-33 Surname might be SKEELS
? 40 Surname looks like MASCAL (?)
* Last settlement: Not legible.
? 46 Surname could possibly be DICHS
? 48-49 Surname could be MAISTER
? 63-64 Surname could possibly be McGINN
