                 brought into this Cort by some of the Neighbourhood, who Com
                 plained that Thomas Vaughan who had married the said Elizabeths
                 Mother, had inhumanely beaten and abused the said Childe, and the
                 markes being showed here in Cort, the Court was of opinion that the
                 said Childe ought not to live longer with the said Vaughan, and
                 therefore did ordr that the said Vaughan deliver the said Elizabeth,
                 unto Love Daniel wife of Constant Daniel, by her to be Kept for
                 one yeare, and the said Constant to be satisffyed for the Charge of
                 Keeping the said Childe, out of the Estate of her father Richard
                 Russell Deceased in the hands of the said Vaughan, at such Rate
                 as this Court shall allow.
