Other names in the deed are John Clark, Esq.r and Vincent Lockerman as their
lawful attorneys or attorney.  Witness was Matthias Davis, Joseph Fleming

Rebekah made her mark,
Sam'l Chew Pro{tho.y}

Thomas Hall's daughter Parthena marries Isaac Mason b 1753 in about 1774 and
their first two children are born in Delaware, Kent Co.

Would appreciate any information regarding these families.

Mary Manlove was a daughter of William Manlove & Mary Bibbe.  She married
Joseph Mason.  By the above information it sounds as though Joseph Mason b
abt 1722  received the mill from his father-in-law.

_____With thanks to Dave & Sally Stevens, descendants of Allen Hall, son of
Thomas Hall & Rebekah Story Hall, who transcribed these deeds.  The
Hall/Mason families went from Delaware to Monongalia Co VA just below Fayette
PA.  Allen Hall went on to Licking Co OH.  Isaac Mason went to Nashville, TN
in 1790.
