Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection contains an English land grant written on parchment and dated 1608. It is an agreement between the Earl of Cumberland and Geffrey Tompson, a "husbandman" of Trefield, York County, in which the Earl grants Tompson a farm from his land holdings, for a yearly rent of thirty-five shillings. The document is probably a copy, since it lacks signatures and seals.
