Lancaster County PA Deed 3D-1, dated 2 April 1798:
(At LCCH this book of deeds is available as both a book and on microfiche, but the first several pages of the book are torn and missing. So the only copy of page 1 is microfiche, and due to lens magnification problems I was unable to make a copy (or, if I had, it would have been ten shots per page). Further, the first pages in the fiche version were also torn and sort-of placed side-by-side, but (1) page 1 has a missing strip between the two remaining pieces, and (2) page 2 has part missing from top and bottom and was mis-aligned before capturing for the fiche. So this deed is an approximation, best available by me.)
