I am posting information gleaned from land records in the areas where our family’s ancestors resided. You can read more about this project in the overview. You may also check my deed record listing, which I will update with each post.

On the deed I described in this post, John Fenton purchased this piece of land from George Burdick. I believe that John and Susie may have moved to another location in Colfax, or in to Manton.
In the old 1889 Atlas1, the land is show as owned by George Burdick.
