                                       	 5088		  ÿ     This Indenture 
Made this twelfth day of January in the year of our
      John Goulden          ÿ     Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty 
nine, between John 
            To                    ÿ      Goulden of the County of Logan and 
State of Ohio, of the one part
Trustees M.E. Church  ÿ    And Benjamin Lane, Lewis Sullivan, David Lane, 
Carlisle H. Austin, and Herbert Baird, Trustees on trust for the uses and 
purposes herein after mentioned all of the County and State aforesaid of the 
other part, Witnesseth that the said John Goulden for and in consideration of 
his good will and regard for the Methodist Episcopal Church and for and in 
consideration of the sum of one dollar in specie to him in paid to the said John 
Goulden at and before the ensealing and delivery of these presents the rest 
whereof is hereby acknowledged, hath given, bargained, released, confirmed and 
conveyed and by these presents, doth give, grant, bargain, release, confirm and 
convey unto them the said trustees and their successors (trustees) in trust for 
the uses and purposes hereinafter mentioned and declared all estate, right, 
title, interest claim and demand whatsoever, either in law or in Equity, which 
the said John Goulden hath into and upon all and singular a certain lot or 
parcel of land situate, lying and being in the County of Logan and State 
aforesaid Bounded and butted as follows to wit: Beginning at the edge of a small 
branch in a line of Herbert Baird's and running North thirty eight degrees West 
sixteen poles to a sugar tree ash and wild cherry tree in Hatcher's line: Thence 
North fifty two degrees East ten poles to a large poplar: Thence South Thirty 
eight degrees East sixteen poles to a small sugar tree in said Baird's line: 
Thence with said line South fifty two degrees West ten poles to the beginning 
containing and laid out for one acre of land: Together with all and singular 
houses, woods, waters, ways, privilege and appurtenances thereto belonging, or 
in any wise appertaining. 

(This Deed describes the rules that the Trustees must follow in using this 
donated acre of land for the Church's benefit. It is sort of a charter for the 
Church and its property.  This legal language is not pertinent to my research of 
John Goulden, so I am not including it as it is quite long and detailed.)

And the said John Goulden doth by these presents Warrant and Forever defend all 
and singular the before mentioned and described lot or piece of land with the 
appurtenances thereunto belonging unto them the said Trustees and their 
successors chosen and appointed as aforesaid from the claim or claims of him the 
said John Goulden his heirs and assigns and from the claim or claims of all 
persons whatever.

In Testimony Whereof the said John Goulden hath hereto set his hand and seal the 
day and year aforesaid.
