NOTE:  This Indenture appeared at the bottom of one of my documents pertaining
to my ancestors.  I did not copy the next page since it was unrelated to my
ancestral line.  I include it here in the event it may be helpful to those
pursuing the Cotton or Smith lines.

There is no date on the portion which I copied above but it follows my
document which is dated 20th August 1712.
