NOTE: This appears to be the same land that MILLY LANE GINN
      inherited from her father ISHAM LANE in 1802 and then
      gave to her three children, WESLEY, ZILPHA and PENELOPE
      LANE on 26 March 1825. Wesley sold his interest to CALVIN
      EDMUNDSON in 1839. In 1802, MILLY received 106 acres. 
      This deed is for 101 acres, 67 years later. Beaver Dam is
      the constant phrase in all three descriptions. Naturally, the
      adjoining land owners changed over time. ZILPHA MITCHELL
      and PENELOPE DICKINSON are MILLY’S daughters.
