1781; and 1 bu. "Spels,"^° Is. 8d. ; for 30 morning snacks and
30 gills whiskey, Jan. 15, 1781.
"This under the same Circumstances wt. harnets."
10. "Spels" was doubtless spelt, a grain related to wheat and barley,
much used for food in Germany and Switzerland. It is also called "Ger-
man wheat." This is a circumstantial touch reminding us that most of
the early settlers of Rockingham came from Germany and Switzerland.
The "Spotts" sold by Fred. Armentrout were likely some grain or vege-
table, also.
