NIGHTINGALE DOLBY- Indenture 30 August 1721
(Nightingale was 24 years old in 1721 - so would have been born about 1697! I found this in the "Betty Lue Jones" Newsletter 1 Jan 1977, suppose to be a copy of the original passport. It appears that she must have found it alsomentioned in the Norman Leonard Dalby Manuscripts of which I have never seen.)
