Fred,
I have several deeds like this between my father and his father. You
probably won't ever find the reasons. The reason they appear to be done at
the same time, is they were recorded at the same time. That doesn't mean
they were written at the same time. Few people bothered to go to the
courthouse to record a deed, unless there was a good reason to do so. (The
grantor didn't want to pay taxes, etc.)

Any information I give that you can't find in your version of TMG 5.14 is
probably due to customization on my part.

Yes but these are different people involved, right? My people are
identical. In my case the answer is probably behind finding out who
these Webster people were who were deeded a property which they
then deeded right back. The whole thing was done in one swoop.
maybe there was money involved which I should be able to find in
either a will or a mortgage.

In any case, none of this is critical information to me. It's just that I
want to know. Typical genealogist in action trying to solve a puzzle for
no particular reason. :-)
