At a court held for Orange County on Thursday the 27th day of October, 1737, Matthew Stanton acknowledged this his release of land indented to Timothy Sisk which at his motion is admitted to record and Mary the wife of said Stanton being first privately examined, relinquished her right of dower to aforesaid land mentioned in aforesaid release and so by her said husband conveys to aforesaid Sisk which also is admitted to record.
Teste: Henry Willis.
Transcribers Notes:
Again, Clark Sisk is only mentioned with Timothy in the beginning of this indenture. Is he Timothy’s father? Timothy is his heir and therefore he doesn’t need to be mentioned...because he and Timothy own this together? I’d like your input.
Timothy & Clark obviously lived on this land and had raised 7000 pounds of tobacco here so that they could pay Stanton for the land, right?
Lease and release: a technical way of avoiding English court fees for transferring land. The possessor of the land would lease it for a year to the person who wanted to buy it. The leaseholder would take possession of the land and then could purchase the remaining rights to the land through a release. The entire process had the same effect as a sale of land.
