Thanks Olivia and Yvonne. Yvonne, It does look more like an S to me. But on some of the deeds I have seen some letters that look even more live "S_ that I know were "L's". So I guess right now it's a toss-up. Unless someone has a good idea who this person might have been. Olivia, In such case, would he be listed on the document as the landowner?

For what this is worth. The old written "S" looked like an "L" if one wasn't careful. Engravings done today uses the same old "S" especially initials engraved on crystal. The Euporeans still use the old "S". When my father-in-law and family came to America the dock handlers could not find their luggage. It had been stored under the "L". His name was Sandifort but to most people it looked like Landifort. I wish I had an example to show you.
