To Dudley Forum:
Attached is an update of the Dudley Deeds. I've added more information to the
overview so that we can match puchase and sale and also see associated people.
I'm interested in the connection with Harris and Davis. They seem to show up
often and as I mentioned before, there are also transactions between Davis and
Harris and the Siamese twins. I've also put them in chonological order.

open court by the oath of Demis Laffoon and ordered to be registered
Test Ja Williams C.C.
Note: Underlined words mean I has difficulty reading the word
Note: I’m not sure of the meaning of this document. Confusion because it
says that 400 dollars is to be paid by Gilaspy to Robert Dudley. However it
is clearly marked as a deed transfer from Gilaspy to Dudley. My
interpretation is this – Gilaspy owes Robert Dudley $400. Dudley agrees to
take the land as payment. So the first part documents Gilaspy’s debt. The
second part says that Dudley will void the obligation mentioned in the first
part if he gets a “good and lawful” title to the land. (but them why does
it say “when payment is made for the land”)
