Good Day,As I begin this day, I figured that I had better get my Daily Posting off and out to A Genealogy Hunt… but not before my bowl of gruel, of oats, apples, and cinnamon. And in my chair, or I think it is my chair, I sit precariously on the edge with two other occupants; Bella and Radar. You get the picture. Their 12- and 16-pound bodies are warm, but alas, they do take up space.
Today’s transcription work is the 5th part of the 1800 Indenture entered to the Grenada Registers of Records on 2 April 1801… Page 27 through and including Page 31. But be forewarned, the annexed Schedules, A and B, as referred to in the body of this Indenture appear to be an additional 41 pages. This is, all in all, a part of my search and research for the origins and ancestry of my ggg-grandfather James Smith. All-things-being-equal there is nothing that I can note, at this time, as it regards to the Smith Family that, or who, really does stand out as a connection or origin association with or to ggg-grandfather James.
And here goes. Here are the images of Pages 21 through and including 26, from Item 3 of the microfilm FHL [1563378]. Oh and by the way, there are a number of additional other surnames included, especially of those persons who seem to be Clerks and Witnesses to this long, long contract, that I have not included in the Tags and Labels.
My transcription, even my attempt at the German language part.
Next on the docket; Schedules A and B.
Enjoy,
