Scope & Content |
This deed gives a house owned by Edward Hardman to John Brown. Brown was given the house because he had invested in a tanyard with Hardman. The tanyard was dissolved, but to make up for Brown's investment, Hardman gave him a house. The document is signed by Franklin County Clerk, Willis A. Lee. The location of the house may have been around Ann St. and Main St. [then Montgomery St.]. It was adjacent to a lot owned by Isham Talbot and John Seabree. Isham Talbot, a Kentucky Senator from 1812-1815 and a U.S. Senator from Kentucky from 1815-1819 and again from 1820-1825. Talbot had a law office between Main and Ann near the river and property in the current KHS parking lot. [Transcription] Whereas John Brown of Frankfort and myself did for some years direct and carry on a joint expense and for our mutual benefit and advantage a Tanyard near Frankfort, and the said Brown did at different times advance large sums of money which were used in the purchase of stock and in the management of the said Tanyard and whereas the said Tanyard has been discontinued by mutual consent and the whole of the stock has been sold by me and the entire proceeds thereof, also the intermediate profits of the establishment have been received by me and the said Brown [illegible] drawn and or received no part thereof except a conveyance of my interest in the Tanyard lots which in value fall far short of his advances and whereas the books and accounts of purchases and expenditures, for said Tanyard, also of profits and receipts arising there from and from the ultimate sale of the stock thereof have been kept by me in such manner as to render it impractical at this time to ascertain with accuracy the amount to which the said Brown is justly entitled to receive as his proportion form said Tanyard and profits which have arisen thereof from. In order therefore to do justice to the said Brown in this case and also to avoid all dispute [illegible] to the amount due to him as his proportion which I know to be considerable I have proposed to release to him my equitable right and interest in the house and lot on Montgomery Street [Main St.] in which I formerly resided which lot was conveyed by deed to said Brown by Isham Talbot, and the said Brown has consented to accept a release of my equitable interest in said house and lot in full satisfaction and discharge of all his claims and demands against me on account of the said Tanyard and profits thereof be it therefore known by theses proceeds that I Edward Hardman of Franklin County for the considerations aforesaid and also in consideration of the sum of one dollar to me in hand paid by the said Brown the receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge [illegible] for myself my heirs and legal representatives transfer, assign, release and quit claim and by these presents hour transferred assigned, released, and forever quit claimed unto the said John Brown his heirs, and assigns forever all my right claim and equitable interest of in and to all that Tennement (?) House and lot or parcel of land in the town of Frankfort on which I formerly resided, fronting on Montgomery Street and adjoining the lots of Isham Talbot and John Seabree and extending towards the river as the same is bounded and described in a deed of conveyance thereof to said Brown from Isham Talbot together with all singular the appurtenances [illegible] belonging. And I do also hearby for myself and my heirs forever release and discharge the said brown and his assigns from all and every claim and demand within in law or equity which I now have, or in any manner may or can have in or to the house and lot aforesaid. In witness whereof I have hereunto [illegible] my land and affixed my seal this 26th day of October 1819. Ackd 27th day of Edward Hardman [seal] October 1819 W. Lee, clerk [New Page] Franklin County Ct. I Willis A. Lee clerk of the county court for the county aforesaid do certify that the foregoing deed was produced to me in my office on the 27th day of October 1819, and was acknowledged by Edward Hardman to be his act and deed for the purposes therein mentioned and that the same is truly recorded in my said office.
