[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9763626, member: 76316"]It is 24" wide, ~20" high. Created in the 32nd year of the reign of George II. It is folded into 4 vertical an' 4 horizontal panels, creating a roughly 6" X 5" packet. It is fully legible, an' in lucid English. I plan to transcribe it in its entirety, both the main (front) page, an' the rear notations. As so often happens with me, I stumbled on it while looking for something else. I am abashed to admit that I have no recollection of when or where I acquired this ancient legal document. I am without clue about what to do with it, but feel it has only modest monetary value, if any at all...except perhaps to the original family mentioned within. It deals with an inheritance, and an annuity of 10 (pounds?) charged upon lands in Rivington. There are many names of the family members, an' several of various officials/lawyers, along with revenue/tax stamps; there are 4 wax seals adjacent names at the bottom. I offer it in hopes that some of you will find interest in it, an' perhaps offer guidance about what should be done with it. As always, Thanks for lookin'!
