Deed from Stephen Leornard Thurlow to Andrew T. McClintock
Description:
The following item depicts a deed transfer and sale between Stephen Leonard Thurlow and Lydia Mary Thurlow, his wife, to Andrew Todd McClintock, dated August 20, 1864. In the deed, McClintock is purchasing a plot of land on South Franklin street in Wilkes Barre, containing one half of an acre and two and three fourths square rods, or twenty two thousand, four hundred, and fifty square feet of Land acres for the sum of $1.00 paid in full. There is a note at the bottom of the page bestowing Lydia Mary the rights of signer of the document of sale in the case of Thurlow’s death. On August 23, 1864, Thurlow and Lydia Mary appeared to have the document and instrument signed before the sheriff’s recorder’s office in Luzerne county. This document is testified to by S. D. Lewis, possibly Sharp Delany Lewis on the same date. There is a tax on the record and sale of the contract, amounting to $2.25, signed by George Kirkendall and Schooley.
