Description
This document is a deed of sale between Daniel Ashabranner and Banard Rogan for the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars in exchange for land and improvements [i.e. buildings, fences].
Biographical/Historical Note
Daniel Ashabranner was semi- or fully illiterate, based on his inability to sign his own name. At the time, partial literacy was fairly common as education wasn't as accessible as it is today. Legal documents such as this deed were often written by a clerk, lawyer, or other third party to the transaction.
