that they executed the same. And the said Anna on an examination separate and

of acknowledgement thereof. Recorded Feb. 13, 1839 at 4 P. M.

[Transcriber's Note: the erased words " warrant and defend and " probably had 
been part of the phrase "will forever quit-claim their rights" which is near the 
end of the deed. The original wording might have been "will forever warrant and 
defend and quit-claim their rights," which would have made this a warranty deed. 
Without those erased words it is only a quit-claim deed.]
