DEED: I am copying this as it appears on the paper, misspellings and all. I
have capitalized the surnames for ease in a quick look (except for the first
mention of Noah and Peter in which all of both names were already
capitalized).  At the top of this paper someone wrote, "This agreement
takes the place of a will for this family".
