consideration money within mentioned to be paid to me ~~~~~~~~ Witnesses at Signing Fred’k Beales Stephen Page {seal} Math’w Irwin Recorded the 11th day of Aug 1803 Additional Comments: Note: This indenture and the indenture after it, Joseph Coulon to Jean Louis Bourdon, were recorded at the same time. Apparently the two indentures were not recorded until Jean Louis Bourdon sold the lot in 1803. Therefore part of the indenture appears not to have been recorded, because that part was no longer applicable.
