Craig,
Please verify that I am reading this correctly, "Sea Side" was a district?
Reason I ask is, in the 1721 will of Dennis Driskell (of Somerset) he gives
to son Moses:

"Item I give to my son Moses Driskoal One bed and furniture lying at the
SeaSide".

I have been curious about where SeaSide was but had no information to place
it. What do you think?

Thanks,
Gale
