Because JOHN HUTCHINSON has a son named John, I'm not certain if he is
reserving a life estate for himself or his son in the transaction
below.  (I think it is for himself, given no stated consideration for
son John; son John already has another part of this lot anyway.)  Again,
I would love to hear from anyone researching any of the names below, and
I look forward to getting one of those good maps to plot everything.

Q.   What kind of structure is "a large brick house of 2 tenements"?

Are these two structures connected by a breezeway?  Two wings of the
same building? ??
