1830s–1840s Property Conveyance & Mortgage Ledger — Allen Porter, Cynthia Thayer, John S. Apgar

Approximately 7.75\" by 9.25\" folds.

Handwritten 19th-century property record tracing the conveyance of a Church Street residence originally held under the estate of Rev. Samuel P. Williams, who died at Roxbury, Connecticut in December 1826. His trustee, Thomas P. Williams, was empowered by the will to sell estate property, and under that authority conveyed the Church Street home—then occupied by Mr. Winship—to John L. Aspin and subsequently Frederick Ochs on December 11, 1828.

The document continues in ledger form, recording multiple later transactions:

• March 5, 1830: Ochs to Ellen Porter, with a mortgage to Thomas P. Williams.

• January 7, 1834: Porter to Capt. Wm. Thayer, subject to mortgage.

• January 29, 1835: Cynthia Thayer (by attorney) to Ellen Porter.

• April 22, 1836: Porter to John L. Aspin, deed and mortgage entries noted.

• May 28, 1842: Oxford Gilchrist mortgage and agreement recorded.

• August 1857: John L. Aspin mortgage to Augustus Stoddard to secure $1,000.

Beautifully written in brown ink, this rare piece of early Connecticut real estate history reflects layered chains of title and 19th-century mortgage practices, with references to Roxbury, Connecticut and Church Street. An excellent example of estate trust management and property law documentation from the early Republic period.
