  • Wording of Indenture for John Eves Farmer White Colne Essex

    This is the only one of the land documents relating to my family which I have transcribed they all relate to land in Great or Little Horkesley near Colchester Essex.
    It might be of interest to both Eves & Death name researchers as his wife was Martha Death from Fordham her family owned land in East and West Bergholt
    I have inserted three photographs of the original document.

    Please find the text of an indenture dated twenty forth August 1798.
