Page 34 contains handwritten notes by Edwin C. Jellett. The notes were written on white, lined paper and affixed to the Scrapbook page.
This page can be summarized as follows: It is a transcription of a legal document that the Sheriff granted to a William McAuch all road, mills, houses and other property of the Wissahickon Turnpike Company for a fee. The purchase was made by Wm. McAuch and his wife. Jacob Heft paid to the Sheriff one half of the purchase money and both Heft and McAuch became co-owners of all the property conveyed. (It appears that) Heft subsequently purchased all rights, title, etc. from McAuch and became sole owner of all property. The deed was dated June 11, 1860.Collection
