This deed transfered part of two lots of land in Trumbull County, Ohio from Solomon Bond of Enfield, Hartford County, Connecticut to Thomas Patridge of Elizabeth town, Allegany County, Pennsylvania for $536 on 19 October 1807.  Samuel Phillips and George Wakeman were the witnesses.  

The fact that Thomas Patridge was of Elizabeth town in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania is new information for me, and led me to further land records in Allegheny County.

Thomas Patridge (1758-1828) was born 15 December 1758 in Cumberland County, New York Colony. He died 1 October 1828 in Gustavus County, Trumbull County, Ohio.  Thomas married Hannah Wakeman (1763-1814), daughter of George Wakeman, on 2 October 1785 in New York.

Thomas Partridge and Hannah Wakeman are my 5th great-grandparents through their daughter Mary Partridge (1792-1855) who married Cornelius Feather (1777-1853) in 1804.
