Land gaind by the new Clow &

survey of Robert Bickerstaff Land at Stanoe

 

This is actually two documents which have been stapled together at some point.  We are unsure of the exact meaning of Clow although it appears in reference to waterways and watercourses in the other documents we had seen.

 

The date of the documents is unknown but the names mentioned would suggest early 18th century to early 19th century, with names passing down through the generations it is difficult to pin point it any further than that at this point.
