the 28th day of April AD 1806 N.B. :- This deed is indexed under Stiles in the Fairfield County, Ohio deed indexes, and the deed book E-221 records his name as John Stiles in the deed. However the land in question is identical to the military grant to John STITES (GLO records OH2100_.233 – Range 15, Township 5, Quarter 3). As so often happens, his name was mis-transcribed as Stiles by the clerk. As such I have corrected the name in this transcription to prevent the error being perpetuated. LDS Film #295275 |
