Note: These appear to be the married daughters of John
Psalmonds, deceased, joined by their husbands and their
brother, selling their half-interest in Lot 259.  It is
likely that the date should be 1836, since the half-
interest purchased from the "Orphans of John Psalmonds"
occurred in December of 1835.  It is unlikely Daniel
Cordray, or anyone, would purchase one-half of a tract of
land with orphans owning the other half.  It is more
likely that as often happens in January of a new year,
the old year was written instead of the new year.  This
deed was not recorded until 1857 after the death of
Daniel Cordray.
