Part 306s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – Indenture Research – 1830 James Smith – Could Be GGG-Grandfather James?

03 July 2010

Morning,

My first Indenture transcription today is of one James Smith of Grenada dated 22 November and entered to the Registers of Records 24 November 1830. There is no immediate indication that this James Smith is my ggg-grandfather James nor are there any hints or clues as to his associated genealogy. As this Record involved a transaction of property which may have been in the vicinity where ggg-grandfather James had bought and sold other property in St. George. There is remote chance that this could be ggg-grandfather James.

This Indenture is the first one of a short series of similar others which may in some way be inter-related. This immediate Record does not provide any immediate satisfaction to his ancestry or family tree.

The image of the Record is downloaded from Item 5 of the microfilm FHL [1563380] and is a short two pages; 194 and 195. The subsequent Record appears to be a more detailed Indenture relating to this one. Here are the images:
