Wisner 1850 and 1851 Deeds

Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.

Amanuensis Monday, hosted by John Newmark at Transylvanian Dutch.

I wish I could remember where and when I found these deeds. I have many such documents in my files without this detail. [Update: Both of the deeds are available online from the Bureau of Land Management]

There were two William Wisners. The father did not seem to use a middle initial. His son was William Abner Wisner. I believe that the first one was for William Abner and the second for his father. However, it is possible that William Wisner, Sr also had A as a middle initial and both deeds are his.
