Essex, MA deed for briganteen

[Mary Ferm]

Hi friends,

I ran across this while reading Livingston family papers from the
Hudson River area in NY, and wondered if by chance any of you were
researching these names:

Thomas Lord, shopkeeper, and Joseph Smith, shipwright, of Ipswich
sold to Capt. Jonathan Clark of Boston, for 475 pounds, the hull of
the briganteen Charming Molly. Dated 13 May 17_5 [number unreadable,
perhaps 1755 based on other papers in the same folder]
Witnesses: Samuel Waite, Daniel Heard
