Sir
The Revd [Reverend] Mr Wilson is now
dead.
Mr John Bennet of Barscobe
States that there is some misunder-
-standing in giving his name as
authority for spelling the name of
the Farmhouse & farm in question
"Low Hardland" he now gives the
proper name as Upper Hardland
which he believes Correct, but in the
neighbourhood hears it as often called
High Hardland:
He was Tenant of Low
Hardland farm, (which joins Upper
Hardland) for some time and thinks
from this that some mistaKe has
arisen but does not pretend to re-
-member anything about giving the
authority.
It appears equally certain
that some misunderstanding has also
arisen in the Revd [Reverend] Mr Wilson's information
I cannot meet with a Single person
who has ever heard it called
"Low Hardland" altho [although] well Known
as High Hardland.
