  	Entered this sring of notes from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~stlawrchurch/methplessisA-Z.html Simply because I was wondering how he paid since others paid in kind (butter, flour, etc) Note Dec 14, 1885 his name is spelled "van Ambur", I don't have the original document so don't know if this was a transcription error or ??? His handwriting is normally clear so I think it's just wrong.
