According to an earlier deed, Adam Shepherd had been paid for this lot by Thomas Stansbury without a deed being issued to him. Shepherd acknowledged the purchase and directed the trustees to issue a deed for this lot to Hannah Allender Robinson, an heir of Stansbury. Later, in 1830, Hannah's husband James Robinson sold the lot to William Lee for five dollars as shown below
