is to say, for necessary fencing and for building and repairs or casking
for tobacco or cider or other drink made on sd lands, provided that Pulton
may cut and carry away any timber for his own use for building. If
the lands are, at the end of this lease, exposed again to be leased as
coppy held [copyhold] land, then sd James Carricoe shall have the refusal
thereof, provided he shall be content to pay so much for the same as any
persons shall be willing to give. Further, sd James Carricoe shall
not let any part of the lands to anyone without the consent of Pulton.
If Carricoe wants to sell his interest in the land, Pulton shall have the
refusal thereof. Lastly, sd James Carricoe shall give his attendance
and due homage to Pulton if any disturbance should arise on sd lands [p.

(his mark) Carricoe. Wit - Gustavus Brown*, Robt Yates*. |

1 Sep 1779. Mr Benja Cawood Jr executor of late Mr Thomas
Berry's will,
for the money to be distributed amongst the poor, money distributed
to... |
| James (X his mark) Carrico 13 lbs 2 sh 6 pence... |
| Abel (X his mark) Carrico 13 lbs 2 sh 6 pence... |
It seems unlikely this is James
of Peter (II) who, in the same year, 1779, bought 112 acres of Maidstone
with 17,400 lbs of tobacco — hardly the act of a poor man. It also
seems unlikely that this James is the young "James of John." This
alms recipient is most likely "James Sr.," our subject, which is reinforced
by the fact that the other Carrico recipient is his brother, Abel.
James "Sr." would have been 86 or 87 years of age, and we know he was alive
just the year before because he took the Oath of Fidelity in 1778. |
