Hi all, Therse two documents are in English. Anna Marie Hayes sent me these scans, one from 1806 and the other 1812. They are land claims where Thomas appears to be attesting that his neighbors have occupied the lands. It's interesting to note the deterioriation of Thomas signature in the 6 years between the two signings.... and it's will be interesting to track the variations over the years, as we collect more of these. In this case, I've decided to combine both documents on one image, the earlier one at the top of the page.
