He assigned those to Robt. Wilson on 16 Feb 1693/94, but Robert then assigned the headrights "unto my son Isaak Wilson" There is a survey and return for Isaac Wilson, 490 acres, on 30 Apr 1694. Granted 22 May 1694. [In January of 1705/6, Isaac proved rights to 1200 additional acres by importation of 23 persons to include "my Wife Rebekah Ratcliffe". ?]
