Notes
a. Note:   ers of Three Friends -376 acres. The certificate to Hannah Wallis and Ruth Gleaves on 2 Aug 1740 for 67 acres called Addition: Know ye that where as John Brooke the petitioners Hannah and Ruth's father had surveyed and laid out for him a certain tract or parcel of land and marsh called the Addition lying in the county aforesaid on the north side of Chester river containing 67 acres by virtue of a warrant for 50 acres granted him the 24th day of July 1724 as appears in our Land Office but before the said John Brooke made good rights to the seventeen acres over and above the warrant or --- out our grant there on he died by whose death the said land descended to the petitioners Hannah and Ruth daughters and coheirs of the said John Brooke and for as much as rights were made good for fifty acres before granting him the said warrant and for the remaining seventeen acres the petitioners Hugh Wallace has made good rights by paying onto Benjamin Tasker Esq our present agent and Receiver General for our use the sum of seventeen shillings fine for the same petitioners therefore humbly prayed that our grant might issue in the names of the petitioners Hannah and Ruth daughters and coheirs of the said John Brooke as aforesaid which we thought fit to condescend unto and upon such conditions and terms as are expounded in our condition of Plantations of our province bearing date the 5th day of April 1684 and remain upon record in our said province... We do therefore here by grant onto them the said Hannah Wallace and Ruth Gleaves all that tract or parcel of land and marsh called the Addition lying in Kent County on the north side of Chester River beginning at a bounded White Oak standing on a point on the upperside of the mouth of a creek called Morgan's Creek and running thence north sixty five degrees east forty one perches, thence south 74 degrees east one hundred perches, than north sixty one degrees east one hundred and eight perches thence north north east eight six perches, thence a straight line to the beginning tree containing and now laid out for sixty seven acres of land more or less...
Note:   James Moore, Ruth and Hannah Brooks and Christopher Bellican were the own
b. Note:   gh Wallis was an appraiser of Christopher Bellican's estate but by 12 Sep 1764 he was no longer an appraiser and on 30 Mar 1765 he was said to have intermarried with Hannah Bellican. From this it seems reasonable to conclude that Hannah Brooks had died between 1762 and 1764.
Note:   Hannah Brooks was last known to be alive on 1 Sep 1761. On 17 Feb 1763 Hu
