Person talk:Matthew Gannett (3)

Deed abstracts [16 July 2015]

The following are deeds that were investigated trying to find more information about this Matthew. The only one that truly add something new is the 1702 deed to Dr. George Jackson. Some of these deeds represent the grandfather, the father, this Matthew and various other Gannetts. The secondary coverage of this family is so poor, hopefully, this may slow down the uncritical copying of confused reports of this family.
