So I've had this deed that I got from the New Jersey State Archives for some time now. Whenever I would sit down to transcribe it, I would give up or put it off even longer. With a nice, relaxing day off work for Labor Day, I figured now is the time to really put forth the effort. Below is the full deed for a lot sale from Bartholomew Schmid to Martin Nestel, my GrGrGr Grandfather.
