Well, I had such astute and informative answers to my "chain bearer" question, I'd like to pose another. In old wills are a number of words that relate to the conveyance or sale of land. I remember some from my course in law school on wills and estates. However, the print is so faint I cannot read it, or I do not recognize some words in a family will from North Carolina. Here are the words usually found for land transfer: Given, granted, bargained, sold, aliened, conveyed, confirmed. Here are ones I found for or connected to land descriptions: wood ways, water courses, appurtenances, profits, remainders, premises,. Can you supply others that may help me make out the mystery words? Thanks, Sheila Anthony
