A Deed Between The Town, Killingworth, New London Co., CT.,
& Sarah CARTER, Wife of John CARTER, Killingworth, New London Co., CT


[Transcribed by Janece Streig]

[Transcriber's note: Here is the land laid out to Sarah CARTER (wife of John CARTER). Interesting that it should be laid out directly to her with no notation of why. Her husband was still alive and this is the first time I have seen this during this time where it was not listed that it was either an estate or dower. - jcs]
