Excerpt from Calendar of Deeds and Documents, Vol. 1: The Coleman Deeds In the compilation of this Calendar one object has been kept stedfastly in view - condensation without the omission of any information contained in the original documents which might be useful to students of history or genealogy, so that, save in exceptional cases, a reference to the original deeds might be unnecessary. In order to save space much of the legal phraseology contained in the original documents has been omitted or contracted. For example where a deed grants or demises an estate for life in survivorship to two or more persons, the Calendar merely states that the estate is granted or demised, as the case may be, to such persons for their lives, and it must be understood that such estate is held by them for their lives in survivorship. Place and personal names have been printed as written in the original documents, no attempt having been made to correct the spelling or form of the names even when obviously incorrect. In the original documents personal or place names beginning either with 'F' or 'ff' are almost invariably commenced with 'ff' and this has been followed in the Calendar for the information of the reader, although strictly speaking the form ff is undoubtedly the symbol of 'F.' In respect of wills it was obviously impossible for space considerations to give in the Calendar all bequests contained in many of the originals, but care has been taken to include in the Calendar the names and descriptions of all relatives mentioned, and all bequests which from their nature were of peculiar interest.
