Abstract
Description
Two deeds of properties found in Milton, Delaware. The first deed, dated 1881, was purchased by Clara Waples of Milton. The second transaction was purchased on March 28, 1890 by Clara Waples Carey of the City of Philadelphia. This document is particularly interesting, because it describes the purchase “among other land, a cutain (cotton) mill, mill seat and mill stream, and lot of acres, known as the Factory Mill… adjoining lands of Clara W. Carey.” These are the properties found in the Carey Bros. Wall Paper Manufacturing Co. Records.
