There was something at the bottom of the paper before a copy was made and
sent to me which someone had handwritten, but it was cut off and only the
tops of the words are visible.  There is also another page with a hand drawn
map of the property along with the property adjoining on one side.  The map
says "Valentine Seiwell to _____ Smith £ 933 (then there are four
letters/numbers which i cannot make out).  The name to the left of the plot
says 'Val. Seiwell' which was Michael Seiwell's youngest son.  The name on
the plot above the one mentioned in the deed is "Anthony Seiwell" who was
Valentine's son and it says 67 acres ____ perches.  Above Anthony's plot is
the name "Peter" last name may be "Rodham".  There are two names to the right
of the plot mentioned in the deed which I can not make out.  To the bottom of
the plot mentioned in the deed is the name "John Rees"  Also, to the left of
the plot mentioned in the deed above is the name "Sonetogo Creek" which was
mentioned as a boundary in the deed.
