Note:
If you've gotten this far studying this deed, you might be wondering as I just what was going on here.
It took some searching to find an explanation that I could understand,  I found this at wikipedia.org
Common Recovery
And this regarding a Fee Tail or Entail
As you'll see, the suit in Chancery was a fictitious suit necessary so that Maidstone could be sold, willed & even mortgaged.
I am hopeful to obtain copies of the records in Chancery on this "suit" to see if there is any mention or confirmation
with more detail as to how this passed via Robert Gates will to his daughter Ann & her heirs & then to Peter Carrico (JR)
