The system is not letting me add any more lines after row 22

MollyKerr

Try hitting enter in the First Name column on the final row - you may have to do it twice. It should permit you to add a row; I started the House Expenses entry and it appeared to hold.

M_Judd

Ok that works

MollyKerr

Research Arthur Sinclair and his association with John Mills's real estate. What dividend was he receiving and why?

Research Potomac Company - acquirement of 17 individuals - were the servants indentured or enslaved? Who then were sold to William Hartshorne.
