Could Use Some Help
I came across something thats got me pretty excited but I am not an expert at all so hoping you all might have more knowledge on it. I came across an old 'letter' at auction that was written very obviously by a quill and in a very flourished hand so was just impossible to actually read for me but it appeared to be written by Thomas Mason Dennis which is a name I know of course. Its a deed transfer receipt for land there changing over from Mexican to the Republics. After they won their independence they had to transfer all the deeds from the Mexican spanish language ones to the new Republic of Texas Deeds. Attaching the image so you can see, let me know what you think.
This is the translation:
The succession of Henry Hanson To T. M. Dennis Clk of the County Court of Matagorda Co For Recording Two Spanish Deeds Each at $2.12 1/2 —————— $4.25 Recd of Abram Ally Curator & admr the amt of the above account Matagorda July 23rd 1837 Thomas M Dennis Clk & Recorder M. Co.
