Original early 19th-century manuscript land papers relating to Lincoln, Massachusetts, centered on the Thomas Wheeler farm and accompanied by an additional 1831 signed note concerning a Brooks property. The group appears to include a large hand-drawn surveyor’s plat or farm map on laid paper, showing the irregular outline of the tract with directional notation, measurements, and acreage references; the main survey sheet is heavily worn and fragile, with losses, splits, staining, and edge chipping throughout, but it still presents very well for display and research. The accompanying folded paper on the left is in better condition overall and appears to read in part: “A Plan of a piece of Village land belonging to Mr. Timothy Brooks situated in the north part of Lincoln…” and is dated May the 13th, 1831, signed Jno Hubbard or similar.
The larger browned document includes both written conveyance-style text and the survey drawing on the reverse, and it appears to reference Thomas Wheeler, Lincoln, and a farm of roughly one hundred and thirty-six acres. The survey portion is signed Ephraim Wood, Surveyor, dated October 9th, 1800. Taken together, this is an appealing Massachusetts local-history and land-record grouping, with strong genealogical interest for the WHEELER, BROOKS, and associated Lincoln-area families, as well as for collectors of early New England manuscript maps, deeds, and surveyor material.
Condition is as shown: the large survey/deed sheet is quite fragile, with tears, fold separation, paper loss, staining, and some text loss from wear; the smaller Brooks-related sheet has folds, toning, and light wear but is much sounder. Sold as a historic manuscript lot for research, display, and preservation.
Authentic period piece related to family, historyor local heritage - well-suited for historical collections, genealogical /genealogy research, or museum acquisition.Vintage or Antique.
CONDITION: Dark paper is fragile and splitting. See listing description and photos.
