Deed –New York Conveyances. Deed Book 305, pgs 464 Notes – This Indenture was registered 43 years after the
event. Some parts were entered as just lines, with words missing. The deed was
either damaged through time, or had been deliberately altered. It is known from
a Kentucky Court case in 1817 - “The heirs of David Galbreath vs The heirs of
John Stites”, that there was some sort of dispute between the England based
Galbreaths and their American relatives over property (this is known from a
newspaper notice in the Kentucky Gazette, the Scott County Court records being
destroyed by fire). In a letter dated May 1835, David Galbreath’s daughter
Cornelia talks in a letter to her brother John, about the “properties in
America”, and that their brother David had traveled to America with certain
“papers”. Also in the letter was the news that their brother David jnr. had
died off Sandy Hook (off New Jersey near the entrance to New York). It is not
known whether he was arriving in or departing America. The registration of this
deed may have been at the behest of David, or by the current property owners
when David started “enquiries”. The timing of the deed’s registration, 43
years late, with David’s visit seem “well timed”. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Indenture made the twenty seventh day of June in the
