Some questions about the transaction below:

Does anyone know where the plantations SWAMP PLANTATION and WHITE HOUSE
PLANTATION were exactly?

Can someone tell me if RICHARD CAPERS mentioned below as brother to
GEORGE BENNISON was a brother-in-law, or stepbrother or half brother?

I believe the Mr. DUBOIS mentioned below to be Jasper (Gaspard) DUBOIS,
whose son-in-law, ANTHONY BONNEAU is also mentioned.  RICHARD I'ON was
related through marriage to JOHN CARNE whose daughter, ANN CLARKSON
CARNE, married JASPER DUBOIS' grandson, PETER DUBOIS.

Jasper's great-grandson, REV. JOHN DUBOIS was educated in part by a
CAPERS descendant.

Would love to hear from anyone researching any of the lines below.
