Hi Joyce,
. I have three more deeds and a will to send to you, but this is the
oldest. My mother gave the original to the BCHS shortly after she received
it in 1983 as she thought it to be too historically significant for us
to hold in our grubby paws for very long. Zina Beeman was my third great
grandfather. His daughter Dolly married into the Gorham family.
