Deed for the Home Lot for Samuel, Marah, Mercy, and Mercy Griffin

This small piece of property was to become the Home Lot to the three families of Samuel Griffin. He and Marah purchased the land from Benjamin Turner Jr. who was married to Marah's sister. Benjamin Turner Sr. was the original land grant holder for the property. In the deed are two defining features the Roast Meat Hill Road which forms the eastern border and the Burying Yard which forms the southern border. It sits next to a low lying swampy area that probably precluded its use as farm land. It was however perfectly suited as a place to built a home.
