Additional Comments:
This is an odd pair of deeds, and I only have one of them (the first

one). It appears that this was a property transfer and no money changed hands. 

John Robinson and John Robertson are the same person here. This is the only

appearance that I've seen so far of this John with the middle initial "H".
