Julius C. Hall OF North Main street
has in his possession several deeds of
transfers of property in days long gone
past, which are curiosities such as are
seldom found even among the archives
OF state historical societies. He has no
aeSs than twenty-five deeds, all well
preserved, that date back of the Revo-
lutionary war, ranging from the year
1920 up into the eighteen century. The
papers came into his possession from
his father, the late jeremiah A. Hall
of Elm street, and have been brought
down and carefully preserved from
generations way back almost to the
settlement Of Connecticut. The deeds
in question are all of transfers of prop
erty in the New Haven colony, of which
Wallingford was formerly part, and
the parties named in the deeds were
well known in the records of the early
colonies, and We're large land-holders.
One deed, which shows a remarkable
state of preservation, bears the date
May 10, 1857, New Haven, and bears
the impression of the old pine tree in
the legal seal of red sealing wax. The
deed is transfer on the part of j. Ella
zur Lamson, natural brother of Jona-
than Lamson, lately deceased, of the
province of East Jersey, an acre and

longing, from me, my heirs or assignees
or from any other person or persons
claiming or to claim any right or title
thereunto in my name or behalf. In
