Wasnineron, NM. Cc. 8/15 /'58.

Ladmund :

not entirely satisfied with my report as to the Marsh house,
at sath (Aug 12 '58), 1 have gone beyond the deed from the
uockharts to tiobert Palmer, July 11, 1764, 4/48.

On the 15th inst, 1 reported the deed from John freeman to |
Michael Coutanch, 3/5/1739, 2/51; but 1 could not conclude
that Coutanch actually lived on these lots, or that he built
the Marsh house.

Looking at random in these ola records today; 1 fina a deed
from “*ichara vans and wife, »usannah, daughter and heir of

liichael Coutanch, to Lillington and vames sockhart; Jvune 16,

1763, 4/3. |

Conveys same lots described in the deed from sockhart to
Kovert Palmer, 7/11/64; 4/48; with this addendum:
"Lots 24 ana 25 in the plan of saiu town (Bath); being the
lots ana houses whereon the saia “ichael Coutanch lived in
his life-time", etc.

Goutanch pought in 17359. it appears that his daughter sola
in 1764, to siobert ralmer. 7

there is still a “break” in this chain of title between kobpert
Palmer ana Jonathan Marsh, which I cannot connect up.

the Marsh house is on Lots 24 ana 25.

Lockharts gave 958 pounds for the property ( 4} 4,655:88 pro ~-
clamation money).

It appears that Coutench lived there from 1739 to or about
1763. 7

No record evidence that he built the Marsh house ‘the assump-
tion is that he did!
