Copy of a Deed to Joseph Howes, Probably from Edmond Hawes or John Thatcher

Abstract

This document is certainly old, and probably written within a few years of the date inscribed. It appears to be a copy of another document, as the signatures all seem to be written in the same hand. With this knowledge, it is impossible to determine who was the author of the document, but I suspect it was either Edmond Hawes or John Thacher. The paleography shows that this is certainly 17th century.
