Land papers, 1728-1868.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/476520397

The collection consists of legal instruments for the acquisition and conveyance of real property, such as Letters Patent (civilian and military) and their supporting documents, deeds of many kinds (generally using the English procedure of Lease and Release), mortgages, bankruptcy indentures, a prenuptial agreement, and agreement settling an estate in new trustees but also intended to protect a woman's rights to her legacy, and a guardianship agreement by a Loyalist appointing trustees for his children. Various other papers relating to property and estates include tenant leases, bonds, surveys, maps, memoranda, lists, affidavits, powers of attorney, certificates, abstracts and exemplifications, indemnifications, and some correspondence. Encompassing the years 1728-1868, the documents were created primarily in two periods: 1761-1775 and the 1790's. There are only a few scattered items after 1829. Some dated after Banyar's death pertain to earlier proceedings; the remainder may be family papers.
