[This deed appears on the right-hand page of what was originally numbered as

[The clerk left the last 1 1/2 inch of the line following "A" blank, and then 
left a blank space on the page large enough for 5 or 6 lines of writing.  The 
description of the property apparently was not on the deed.]

    John Germany J. P.                     mark


[Either the deed included a receipt for money paid by Robert Greaves to 
himself, or the clerk mistakenly put "Robert Greaves" where the entry should 
have had "Thomas Payne" as the person paying the agreed price to the seller.  
The name of Thomas Payne is written in the record above the name of John 
Germany and with a line following it, but with no indication that it is meant 
to signify his signature.  It seems as though the receipt has the names of the 
person paying and the person receiving payment reversed.]

[There is no date of recording.  The clerk did not note the recording dates 
for any entries made after 11 May 1787 on page "llb" and before 3 Dec. 1788 on 
page "25b".]
