PRELIMINARY CONKWRIGHT MANUSCRIPT REVIEW
A review of the Conkwright Manuscript ("Shenandoah Families" by Bessie Taul Conkwright) was furnished by Susan Grimshaw
Susan wrote: "My initial observations on Conkwright are as follows:
By page numbers in Conkwright,
P69 1768 Thomas Helme was deeded 295 acres on Opecion by Richard Chapman, the land having been granted to Chapman 8/26/1766. (Christiana Helme married Aaron Chapman - this one could be a relative). Also my Barbados map shows a Chapman as a neighbor to a Helme on Barbados. Probably one of the Thomas Helmes.
