I am trying to transcribe several deeds from the late 1800's of my gr-gr grandfather and have come across what looks to be an xc in the document. Does anyone know what this means? Example: "Witnesseth that the said parties of the first part for and in consideration of one dollar to them in hand paid by the said Scruggs do grant unto the said Scruggs with general warranty of title sixty eight acres of land with mill xc on the same called Mill tract ....." I also came across another sentence with something odd. It looks similar to a V- "whereas said Roark has this day agreed V by executing this paper bound himself to provide all ....." Thanks!
