Steve: Would you or some other nice person be so kind as to define the
following words for me:

1) cowpen
2) landgrave
3) cassique

I know the latter two were of the Carolina "royalty" under the
Fundamental Constitution, that the landgrave was entitled to 1-4 baronies
of 12,000 acres. Not free but with strings attached.

I have seen the term "cowpen" used during the proprietory period in some
records.

Appreciate any help I can get.
