From a Beech tree West Bank of the Owego Creek $300.More but difficult to read. Joseph DeLand m Martha Lamb 1 Martin m Betsy McMillen- John & Sarah Caldwell (?). do you know who CAB initials are.? I Do & can tell you .she's not on line. You might contact her.? She did much research for the Tioga Co Historical Society.. I did not ck for a family folder ,that is also possible..... other names I noted Simon C, Charles,James, John Lamb. Disconcerting handwriting looks like DeLano & I believe it is DeLand in the deeds books.
