  4. See discussion of deeds on father's page. It is presumed based on lack of real estate in inventory that all deeds shown belong to father, including the 1773 deed of George of Otter Creek in New York. It is not known what the basis of the 1750 birth estimate in the NEHGR article is, though if there is one, then one may have more confidence in the conclusion of this discussion, since the son would not be of legal age until 1771, and with the only deed in that range, the 1773 deed, referencing earlier transactions, all deeds would therefore have to belong to the father.
