Note:  The deed cannot have been written in November and recorded in April the 
same year, so I believe the clerk made an error in recording it.  The deed 
just before this one was also for the same couple, Cornelius and Jemima 
Washburn, conveying land to Nicholas Washburn and dated 1 Nov 1814.  It was 
also recorded 15 Apr 1815.
