Fayman, John Black, Layman and Alexander Wills (late of Moses Wallace
deceased), being half a tract belonging to Alexander Wilson, late of Allen
Township, deceased, which was amicably divided (as per agreement of 30 Jaunary
1819) between his heirs, viz., his daughter said Jane Mateer and Isabella wife
of David Sterritt of Mifflin Township. On the same date Robert Mateer of
Cumberland County, for $10, reconveyed to William and Jane Mateer of Cumberland
County, a life interest in this same tract of 107 acres 10 perches, Jane's
inheritance from her father Alexander Wilson, with the proviso that after the
