County, Ohio, 1847 April 16. This is a partial document between Asa W.

Jackson County, Ohio. It transfers an unknown parcel of land from Isham to the
Burbanks, with Walterhouse, justice of the peace in Jackson County, and Radeliff

their marks instead. WALTERHOUSE was justice of the peace in Jackson
County and founded a school called the Jackson Academy. Lightly toned, spotted
and creased. Light crease and tears in upper right corner. Document has been
folded in four and unfolded. Torn along folds. Otherwise in fine
