I same time in the spring or early in the summer of the present year delivered up the note and took up my bond that the date of the treaty. Roger and myself each had part possession of the improvements he holding the equitable, I the legal title - I further certify that about 30 acres of his improved low ground was sold at Skeriff's sale as the property of John Lambert in 1835 which I purchased at [...] sale and that he is now and has been for the present years turned out of possession of the balance of his improvements except a few acres on fraction no. 73-1-1.
