I give all the said land that was given to Jean Ellis to the said Abraham Barron and his heirs and assigns forever."
Executor: Abraham Barron.
Signed Elizabeth Suit (makes her mark "C").
Witnesses: Richard Burch, John Bowling, Ann Tubb.

Comment: Abraham Barron was m. to Elizabeth's dau. Catherine Suit. Source (2) reads the surname as "Burk" but "Burch" as shown in source (1) is clearly correct. There is no inventory or administration account for Elizabeth.
