//Contributor's notes:  Words marked with an asterisk exhibit the 
characteristics of what we now call phonetic spelling.  Most words so spelled 
need no explanation.  Two which might are the terms alean and appertainces. 
The intended terms were "alien" and "appurtenances".  Jacob Cook actually 
lived in Franklin County.  He died soon after this deed was executed. This 
deed was not recorded until 1799 when Jacob's estate was being settled.  The 
land involved in this deed was sold to Thomas Babb by a deed dated Oct. 15, 
1799 (recorded in book 6, page 434) for the benefit of the widow and orphans 
of Jacob Cook.
