[Note: Joseph Alexander was the father-in law of Alexander Montgomery, and Oliver Alexander who witnessed the deed was the brother-in-law of Alexander Montgomery.]

[Note: why Robert Thompson and his wife Agness are involved in this transaction is intriguing. Was Robert Thompson's wife Agness a daughter of Joseph Alexander? needs research.]
