of two manuscript documents from the Normandy region of France. They
are both copies of an original contract of sale for a parcel of land

The first one is dated March 15, 1626 and has three manuscript pages.
The second one is dated march 15, 1627 and in a different and more compact
handwriting since it is only two pages long. The content of both documents
is the same and refers to the sale by the Adoubard family of a parcel
of land to Joseph Boutigny of the parish of Fourches. These copies could
date from 1626 and 1627 since the ink, paper and watermarks appear to
correspond to the period of the 17th century. - b7
