Abstract
of the Title of Mr. Thos. Ford and others to certain Messuages and Lands in
Ipstones in the Co. of Stafford. It has information dating back to 1711, but its'
latest information is about 1774. The document has approx. 5 pages. There are
some holes and tears, but most of the text is legigble, and in my opinion,
the document is in a satifactory condition. |

William Trafford. It mentions property
