Land deeds of Avalon
Below are six deeds concerning The Avalon Mills properties. They were graciously given to us several years ago. The copies were dificult to read so I have transcribed them. In addition to the text I have provided scanned images of the documents. I do not guarante my transcriptions are 100% accurate--I did the best I could. English ain't what it used to be.
