[Transcriber's note: It is difficult to discern whether Margret Pell was widow of both John Bell and John Pell, or whether the letter "P" sometimes looks like a "B" in this writer's hand. I will say that although Margret's surname consistently looks like "Pell", John's surname sometimes looks like "Bell" and sometimes like "Pell." Although mention is made of a Corrotuck Precinct will of John Pell, so far, it has not been found; nor is there a will for a John Bell which predates this 1699 deed].
