Subsequently it was used in England to denote a land-holder who was of free but not of noble birth.
And one time he appeared in the shape of a land-holder to two men, Ribh and Eocho, that were looking for a place to settle in.
If he was a land-holder, if all his children were Catholics, he was obliged to divide the land equally between them.
It made him a sort of a land-holder on the spot, and one who had nothing to pay for ten years to come.
After a few years of hard, labor and strict economy a land-holder was indebted to Daymon the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars.
