What is the meaning of the word is "room" as used in the following example from 1762 Loudoun County, Va., court orders:
"Ordered that Jonas Potts, Blacksmith, be appointed Surveyor of the Highwaies in the room of Samuel Compton who is discharged from that Office."

Thanks.

"In the room of" just means "in place of" in this context.
