JTT, thanks for letting us know about Amazon.

Also, if the book you referenced above has an index, would you mind looking for a Sir John Yeamans/Youmans? He was a big wig there about that time before he went to the Carolinas and took hundreds of slaves with him. I am always interested in more info on him as my mom's line traces back to him. I found a copy of his last will and testament HERE. While it doesn't have anything to do with the original question, it is a precursor in that one entry I found said he was the first to bring slaves here. Not something I am proud of, btw.
