Title
Solomon G. Haven to Henry Roop, deed (Book19 p503 1 of 2, 1835-11-19).jpg
Description
By late 1835, Solomon G. Haven was already treating Lot 10 as property in which he held a transferable interest, and he conveyed an undivided half-interest to Henry Roop. This makes Haven, not Locke, the key paper-title figure for the Johnsons’ likely arrival period. The Holland Land Co. reps could also have been involved with any arrangement.
Haven conveyed an “equal undivided one half” of Lot 10 to Henry Roop on November 19, 1835, for $312.75. The deed does not give Roop a physically surveyed half of the land. It gives him a one-half ownership interest in the whole 124-acre Lot 10.
