Scope and Content Note
The real estate deeds or related land documents in this small collection refer to land in that town and that town alone (with perhaps one exception, where Southold is indicated).
There are only twelve documents in this very small collection all real estate deeds or documents which in one way or another deal with land transactions. With one exception, all are dated in the 18th century, specifically from 1742-1789. The exceptions are an 1830 item. Though several names are mentioned on the various documents, the name of Jeremiah Hosell is found most frequently, followed by that of Ellis Squire. Several documents mention a land area known as the “quag Purchase” (sometimes spelled Qwaug).
