The abbreviation "Viz." stands for videlicet.

Videlicet means that is to say or namely.

I think it's reasonable to conclude that the "vizt." abbrebiation used in 1760
stands for the same thing as the "viz." abbreviation given in Webster.

 Do you have a copy of a 1700's will? Is there an old family cemetery
 near you? Maybe you have ships lists, immigrant lists, jury lists,
 slave lists, land records, church records, or other documents you
 could transcribe hiding in file folders on your desk. Pull them
 out and start sharing. Get motivated, be inspired and inspiring!
 Share information with your fellow researchers & distant relatives.
