TITLE: Retroactive Deed of Land to Robert Terry (deceased) from Richard Wilday & Authorization for Sale from John Hinchman, Estate Administrator
DOCUMENT ID: BFP 2018.1.01-13
DATE: 21 September 1675 (Old Style) / 1 October 1675 (New Style)
Richard Wilday issues a retroactive deed to Robert Terry, deceased, having sold the latter a four-acre lot in 1655 but neglected to document the sale during his lifetime. John Hinchman, the administrator of Terry's estate, declares that he has granted the land to John Adams, Terry's son-in-law and thus one of his heirs by right of marriage. He then retroactively authorizes Adams to sell the land to John Bowne. (See BFP 2018.1.01-12: Deed, John Adams to John Bowne, issued one day before the drafting of this document, for details of the property.)
