Real estate records. 1747-1857.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/770376793

Deeds, primarily for property around New Lebanon or Canaan, New York, but also some for property in Berkshire County, Massachusetts. Several of the early eighteenth-century manuscripts in this group probably did not involve Shakers directly or the New Lebanon, New York, Shaker community at all. Their inclusion in this entry reflects the organization of the Andrews Collection. It is assumed that these manuscripts survived because they were retained by descendants of the principals who had joined the Shaker community at New Lebanon and its branch at New Canaan, N.Y.
