This document was presented to Mr. Fenwick by Meredith Capper. The documents were found in an old house on Capper land. The house has since been torn down. Mr. Fenwick's note says Amanda Floyd Dunbar later married David Tyler, so perhaps the Dunbars were associated with this land and house.
The side with a larger document is an indenture and the verso is a deed. John Swales acknowledges receiving the sum of twenty five pounds from Thomas Reeder for eighty-seven acres of land called part of Joy's Kirk. Mr. Swales signed the document and the remains of a seal are visible. It was witnessed by Edward Mattingly and ? Locke. On the verso, Mr. Swales acknowledged the deed to be his act. Abraham Barnes and William Hebb witnessed this document. It was registered on March 4th by Richard Ward Key, clerk.
