Part 453s – Smith Robertson Genealogy – Indenture Research – 1819 – Richard Oliver and William Smith – Debt = Marriage? (II)

Good Morning,

And here is the 2nd Installment of the current Indenture that I am working on. This is II which follows the one as posted in Part 452s. The legalese and what appears to be double-talk certainly is predominant in this Contract and Document. It has me, at times, confused.

As I mentioned, in my search for the genealogy and origins of my ggg-grandfather James Smith, there does not appear to be any trace of hint or clue in this Indenture as to any connection of ggg-grandfather James and any of the Smiths mentioned.

Here are the images of Pages 351 through and including 357, the next seven of the 20 pages.

The images are downloaded from the Grenada Registers of Records as recorded on Item 7 the FHL microfilm [1563379].

The following is my transcription –
