John & Mary-Huntingdon co., PA (L-10) John and Mary's deeds are very distinctive. Mary makes her mark on every deed where John is the grantor and it is not a normal X or + but a very distinctive cursive letter "M". Unfortunately I have never been able to find the deed where Edward's seven sons sell to his eighth son, John. I went through the deed book covering that time page by page and it is not there or on the index. It is not on the index for mortgageee/or deeds. I need to check Orphan's court & common pleas.
