N.B.  The bill of sale give below is a coppy of the original that is in the 
archives of the Court House here and is among other papers that was ordered by 
the Clerk of Court to be recorded in the Register's Office, but for various 
reasons these papers were not recorded in the Registers Office. 

The reason this one was not recorded in said office the Purcher of the woman 
refused to tag the register's furs (??).  I certify this is a true coppy.
