NOTE:
This deed establishes the existence of John Wright, Blacksmith
as father of Hester Wright, who married Thomas Blundell, and
which marriage produced a son John Blundell, representing three
generations covered by this deed. The use of the words God son
in that time frame was common when describing one's grandson.
