I am transcribing and INDENTURE from 1711 involving my Quintrell family in Cornwall.
I don't yet understand it, but it is a gem as it mentions children and their ages as well as lots of other details.
One phrase is "And if itt happen The Said yearly rent of Eight Shillings Capon or Twelve Pence for the Same Harvest Journey.."
I have tried to look up "Capon" but to no avail. Has anyone a clue?
