I'm searching for an original signature of James Markle to compare against
one that I already have. I've read that by a deed dated June 3, 1818 at
Beverly, District of Gore, Upper Canada, James H. Markle (resident of Halton
Co.) sold a piece of property to his mother (a resident of Beverly Twp.).
The land consisted of "one half of 100 acres in Beverly Twp., 2nd
Concession." The deed was signed by both James H. Markle and his mother
(his signature; her mark). The transaction is said to have been recorded in
"Lib A page 299 memo No 277 by James Durand."

My question: Would a signed deed be included with land records somewhere?
If so, where should I start looking for this one?
