Stephen Wille of Nottingham aforesaid to Gideon Mathes dated 31 Jan 1783, it
being 3 [sic 9?] of 12.5a which Micaijah Bickford purchased from Gideon Mathes

(mark) Tuttle, Ezekiel Clark, Deborah Clark in the presence of Jon'a Chesley &
Joseph Follet; acknowledged by all the signers 18 Feb 1811 before Jon'a Chesley
JP; received & recorded 25 Mar 1811 [Rockingham Co NH Deeds 194/25, abstracted
by Laird C Towle from a photocopy of the deed book 3/2000] [I believe the term
spinster is used here to show that the women were the owners of the property in
their own right, i.e., that they had inherited an interest in it, not that they
were spinners by occupation. Thus it appears that Samuel Bickford, Miriam
Tuttle, Deborah Clark & Michaijah Bickford were all siblings, and the children
of Micaijah Bickford deceased; Miriam Tuttle, Samuel Bickford, Deborah Clark
clearly constitute the 3 of the 3/4, and minor Micaijah Bickford the final 4th,
so there were apparently no other siblings; how John Chapman of Newmarket fits
in is not apparent].
