++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I find a land purchase deed dated 9.3.1794 recorded in the Grafton Co., VT Deeds 1781-1794, 1781-1952 Book between Nehemiah Edson of Grafton, Windham Co., VT and Pelmedus Perkins. Pelmedus is purchasing land located  on Lot #12 at Grafton, Windham Co., VT.

I find a land sale dated 4.4.1799 recorded in the Grafton, Windham Co., VT Deeds 1794-1820 Book. Pelmedus Perkins of Grafton, VT is selling land to Charles Perkins of Chester, Windsor Co., VT for $133.00. A parcel of land in Grafton, Windham Co., VT containing 30 acres and one quarter of an acre, all the land deeded from Nehemiah Edson to Palamedus Perkins on 9.3.1794 exclusive of 21 acres & three quarters deed from Palamedus Perkins to James Ross on 11.13.1797 which is east of lot #12 in the 12th Range in Grafton, VT be the same more or less.  *It is uncertain if the Charles Perkins mentioned is his father Charles Perkins or his brother, Charles Perkins Jr.*

I find in the New York Land Records 1835-1839, 1801-1803, 1806-1833 Book where in 1822, a Pelmedus Perkins paid Cash on the Principal on land located at Batavia, Genesee Co., NY. *Note*:  It was either the above Pelmedus Perkins or his nephew Pelmedus Perkins who paid interest on this land at Batavia, Genesee Co., NY
