{** This date was left blank in the original manuscript. As Latton is part of my own family research, we have inserted the date when John Latton
died. VCHS is confusing in that it records both 1727 and 1777 as being the date of the death of John Latton, which is maybe why the original
manuscript was left without a date.}
