12 November 1712 Starling Wilford turned over to John Ladyman London Goldsmith (Grimwade p.573, 756) for the remainder of his term. I really can't make out the script on the annex to Starling Wilford's indenture contract very well, but apparently Thomas Allen had passed away at the time of the turnover, and his Executrix consented to the action.
