How quaint that you should come across this. This particular (exact) item is from a series of loose papers (*original* deeds) from which I indexed one set at the Archives myself about eight years ago. It is not available on-line, but the exact same pages as entered in the Somerset Deeds (Land Records) are on-line at mdlandrec.net. If you have or get an account for mdlandrec, you can obtain it at Somerset Volume H, folios 290-291. And that's how you can read that deed. The "Somerset Land Record Papers" are themselves just a vast collection of loose-leaf originals from about 1722 (or so) though sometime in the 19th century (or later), unindexed and seemingly endless. For a specific purpose at that time, I took a box of these and identified each item, getting a sense of just how scattered across the decades they were. The one nice aspect of them is that they do contain original signatures of the sellers, etc., but actually using this collection is and always will be almost impossible, as there are hundreds of thousands of items that no one will ever scan and catalog individually.
