Cobia (daughter of Abraham Spiedal or Spidel), Sarah Johnson (daughter of Thomas Nightingale), James E. Poyas, and John Champneys. These affidavits mainly concern the boundaries and tenants of the Blake land, which was the location of the New Market race course, a rope walk, a farm, and a tree nursery. There are accounts and indentures (1816-1826) pertaining to a rope walk leased by John Robertson, as well as an inventory of property seized there for rent in arrears.
