1  To the first poscion he answereth & beleeveth That in
+
& by all y:t time arlate y.e sd ?Coerer was M:r of y:e
+
arlate ship y:e ?''Gease-mower'' by & w:th y:e consent of all
+
y:e Owners; whereof this rendent was one, And otherwise

+
so far forth as they make for him, & beleeveth That he was
+
prte at y:e making of y:e Chrepty for y:e voiage arlate

+
with y:e sd ship to Rochell but was at liberty to saile his
+
ship after her discharge of the salt at In?vernesse
+
where he pleased or at least to such as ?Maurice Trent<ref>Maurice Trent.  Possibly Maurice Trent (b. ?, d. ?1700), merchant of Leith, Scotland.  Secondary sources, supported by primary sources, describe Maurice Trent as an English merchant resident at Leith, near Edinburgh.  He appears to have been a Quaker, and was active commercially from probably the 1650s.  A Maurice Trent shipped sugar from Barbados to London, as mentioned  in the ''Registry of the Privy Council of Scotland'' in February 1662 (?1663), and purchased land in West New Jersey in 1664, after the area had been taken from the Dutch.  A separate Maurice Trent, brother of James Trent (both sons of William Trent of Inverness) moved to Philadelphia before 1681.  There were also probably related Trents in Barbados (David Dobson, ''Scottish Emigration To Colonial America, 1607-1785'' (Athens, GA, 2004), pp. 52-53)</ref>//

which sd ?Maurice Trents accompt & not for y:e sd

Chreparty made And otherwise for his pt he doth

not beleeve y:e sd posiccons to be true in any pte

5  To the 5:th posiccon he answereth & beleeveth That after
+
the delivery of y:e salt at ?Innernesse y:e sd Maurice
+
Trent would not nor did lade y:e goods in y:e sd ship to
+
be carried to Rochell in regard there was no good market for
+
them there but he beleeveth that in y:e moneths arlate
+
William Trent y:e brother & ffactor for y:e sd ?Maurice Trent
+
at Innvrnesse did for & upon y:e accompt of y:e sd ?Maurice
+
lade aboard y:e sd ship y:e ''Grase-mower'' XXXX XXXXX XXX

Robert Anderson to whom they were consigned

+
w:ch sd goods this rendent reced 600. Lyvers

by or on the behalfe of the sd Hardwicke,
