Transcriber's notes:
Despite consuming (I suspect) large amounts of rum while writing this, the
author saved none of it for me. I, therefore, refuse to correct any of his
mistakes.
... except this one on page 321: Wiliams corrected to Williams, as
per rest of same entry.
The entry on page 75 for "CHURCH, CHARLES" ends abruptly, as per original.
