Abstracts of title: Ledger book
Scope and Contents
This “Cash” ledger book has an added label on the front: ABSTRACT OF TITLE. Most Abstracts appear to be entered in the ledger twice – under a personal name, presumably indicating the owner or the person requesting the Abstract, and under a property name or location. A spreadsheet https://wm1693.box.com/s/uvbb7uvby9gfnv08bx49g6zxifj5addl has been created with entries for each of the entries in the ledger, giving Abstract number, primary and secondary entry text, and number of acres, when applicable. A note on the top of the page at Tab A indicates “See List in back of book for Titles from 1 to 32”. This page had been torn from the book and stapled to the page opposite Tab A. A folded document labeled “Shellbank restrictive covenants” is inserted in the ledger book after the S entries. There is an unnumbered entry near the end of the S entries for “Shellbank – restrictive covenants”.
