Indented Deed of Release

 

NOTE: This deed gave me a clue that helped me to update footnotes at a July 3rd, 1739 Deed which involved many of the same people. It was the introduction of the name Fownes JACKSON that made me recall finding a marriage of Peter JACKSON and Frances FOWNES. I still do not know who the Fownes JACKSON mentioned in this deed might be, although he may be a son or grandson of Rev. George JACKSON. I have assembled a page to complement the interpretation of this deed at JACKSONs of Steeple, Co. Antrim
