The following is a transcription of two documents, pages 293, 294, 295 & 296, which are land transfers to John B. VanBuren from Henry B. Webb for about 100 acres total and Thomas Stilwell for about 97 acres, filed in February of 1830. I have all most two years experience in reading these types of documents and have transcribed this to the best of my ability. Each line contains exactly the same words as the document. There are no corrections additions or deletions. When I could not make out a word, blank lines and a question mark have been inserted. Those words were mainly part of the legal wording, some of which in my opinion are not real words at all. Submitted by Angeles Oakes
