He understood it was granted to a person by the name of John Johnson at the early settlement of the township but who never settled it nor was now within the limits of the township. He also understood he had not obtained the Crown patent for the lot and if the grantee does not make good his claim it reverts to the Crown and can be sold. If this is the case Graham would be glad to purchase it provided the price set upon it is not greater than its value. Signed Richard Graham. (Bertie Township Papers 0710)

He understood it had been applied for by Mr. Joseph Demer of Willoughby Twp. Graham requested the lot be sold to himself and asked to be informed of the best possible means by which he could secure to the hairs the said lot at the lowest possible rate. Signed Richard Graham.
