Peter Dry Estate Lands Sold to Son, Martin Dry,

The post on Monday last week, showed that Peter Dry passed away in 1853 leaving his estate to his wife, son, 2 daughters and a grandson of a third daughter.    
The posted land deed dealt with a sale of a 1/4 portion of that land division to Martin Dry, son of Peter Dry. Mary Ann (Dry) Sanders and husband John W. Sanders are selling her 1/4 share to her brother Martin Dry.

In today’s Land Deed we find the Grandson Charles F. Dry selling his 1/4 portion of the land to his Uncle Martin Dry. With the purchase of these two portions of the estate land, the son, Martin Dry, now owned 3/4 of his dad’s land. Daughter Elizabeth Catherine still has possession of her one-quarter share.
