Title

Condition of Deed by Morris Gosnell

Accession Number

2007.38.65

Description

This is a very old legal document, on a long thin strip of blue paper, written with brown ink. A small hole is punched in the top left corner, and a bit of string remains pierced through the top right corner.

The document is by Morris Gosnell (1794-1872); he is the father of G. W. Plumley's wife, Lucretia Gosnell. The document references his son and her brother, Lemmons Gosnell. While there are several possible identities for the referenced Charles Gosnell, most likely is the Charles who was Morris's son and sibling to Lemmons and Lucretia. It is also possible that it could be Lemmons' son, Morris Charles Gosnell, who was likely named after his grandfather. The attestation is by Daniel Harrison; there is a Daniel Harrison in the area who lived from 1871 to 1938, and was the son of Jane Gosnell.
