Sir

     As requested by your letter of the 7th  Instant, I have reexamined the declaration of Jarrot Crabb, and compared it with the musterrolls in this office, and am of opinion that he is the same person called Jairah Crabb on the said rolls. The officers in those days were not good spellers and worse writers, and I have no doubt the name was misunderstood by the person who transcribed it from the original return.  Very respectfully 
Your Obt Servt
Wm. Hill
