NOTE:  The transcription by the deed recorder in the deed books erroneously listed Cornelius Patridge in the signer's list on page 439, when it should have been Cornelius Feather(s).

NOTE:  The Patridge surname varies throughout the deed.  I have transcribed it as written.

From review of the deed, and several online family trees, it appears that Thomas Patridge (1758-1828) of Gustavus, Trumbull County, Ohio, died intestate leaving real property in Gustavus.  By Ohio law, the widow was to receive one-third of the property as her Dower, and the other heirs-at-law received the other two-thirds of the property.  The two deeds above reflect those facts.  There is no apparent probate record for Thomas Patridge (1758-1828) in Trumbull County, Ohio.

Thomas Patridge (1758-1828) married (1) Hannah Wakeman (1763-1814) in 1785, and they had children that lived to adulthood named George Wakeman, Jasper, Samuel, Mary, Sarah, David Harlow, Isaac and William Patridge.  After Hannah (Wakeman) Patridge died, Thomas Patridge married (2) Catherine Pelton (1765-1832).  

My interest in this deed is the Cornelius Feather(s) (1777-1853) and his wife Mary (Patridge) Feather(s) (c1792-1855).  Cornelius Feather is my 4th great-grandfather, the son of Stephen Feather and his unknown wife.  Cornelius had four children born between 1804 and 1815, all probably born in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.  After 1823, he resided in Salem township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he died in 1853.  

Mary (Patridge) Feather would have been age 12 (or so) at the birth of my 3rd great-grandmother Sarah Feather (1804-1848) who married Henry Carringer in about 1825.  It is probable that the mother of my Sarah Feather died before 1830 and Cornelius married Mary Patridge (1792-1855) before 1830, probably in Trumbull County, Ohio.  Mary is enumerated as age 58, born in Pennsylvania, in the 1850 United States Census in Salem township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.  It appears certain, through these two deeds, that Mary, the wife of Cornelius Feather in 1850, is Mary Patridge, the daughter of Thomas and Hannah (Wakeman) Patridge.  It is possible that Mary Patridge is the mother of the four known children of Cornelius Feather, but she would have had her first child at about age 12.
