LAND RECORDS OF ISAAC READ, Sr.

The following land records are housed in the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton, New Jersey. This selection does not represent all of Isaac's land transactions. Isaac's land transactions first appear in the state indexes in the year 1801. This selection represents land transactions from the grantee index for Sussex County through 1838 (the year that Isaac died), as well as a few deeds where Isaac appeared as the grantor. I have yet to consult the full grantor index for Sussex County, as well as the grantor and grantee indexes for Warren County. The linked records listed in the table below are available through this site. Simply select the record and click on the link to view either an abstract or transcript or the original document. the date in the table is the filing date, not the document date. Thie is the date used in the indexes. Many of the land records are abstracts as I chose not to type out all the "lawyer talk" at the end of the deeds. This generally boils down to...the seller promises to never hassle the buyer about possession of the property once this deed is signed; the seller's heirs and assigns promise not to hassle the buyer, or his heirs and assigns after the deed is signed; everyone promises not to hassle each other about possession of the property once the deed is signed...and so on and so forth for pages and pages. This generally represents anywhere from a third to a half of the deed. The linked deeds in the table do not include book and page information, this is given with the transcriptions or abstracts. In the transcriptions I have used the spelling and punctuation as found in the deeds. In the abstracts I have used the spellings for proper names as found in the documents, everything else is in standard American English as used today. Please note that these are not transcripts or abstracts of the original documents. Those remained in the hands of the grantee (or buyer). What these are is transcripts or abstracts of what the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas wrote in the County's land record books. Whan a property transaction was made, the deed, quit claim, etc. was brought to the county court house. The clerk of the Court of Common Pleas then copied the document (by hand) into the appropriate county record book and returned the original document to the grantee.
