JOHN DEVAULT  To  YOUNG & ADAMS

Mortgage

     Know all men by these presents that I, JOHN DEVAULT, being justly
     indebted to YOUNG AND ADAMS in the just sum of forty dollars due by
     note and dated upon this day.  And, being desirous to secure them in
     the payment of the same have bargained and sold and delivered unto
     them, the said YOUNG AND ADAMS,

* Fifteen head of hogs,
* One loom,
* One bed, bedstead, and
* Furniture,
* One bull, and 
* All my kitchen furniture
     To have and to hold as their property until said debt and interest
     and cost is paid and satisfied.

     Now it is agreed that, if said debt is fully paid and satisfied by
     the 25th day of December next, then the obligation will be null and
     void, but if the said debt at that time remains unpaid or any part
     thereof, then the said property may be advertised and sold to
     [satisfy] said debt.

     If it brings more than the amount, the overpayment is to be paid to
     the said DEVAULT.  If less, he is still bound to YOUNG AND ADAMS for
     the balance.

     April 6th, 1841.

     John Devault
