Comment Joop:

It is a Thursday, not a Tuesday
I think Amelis Townspip is just a slip of the pen for Amelia Township,
the second witness is ((991201) George Away but that name is for a fact crossed out) and a new name revealed underneath:
Joshua Atkinson

It seems like all English oriented names/months/statements are in blockletters
