Bond from Col James Wood to Frederick County Justices for Lots
James Wood of Frederick County posts a thousand pound bond to Morgan Morgan Thomas Chester David Vance Andrew Campbell Marquis Calmees Thomas Rutherford Lewis Neill William McMacen Meredith Helms George Hoge John White Thomas Little and their successors as security for twenty six half acre lots at Opeckon. The bond binds Wood and heirs to defend title to 22 lots until two years to build houses of at least twenty by sixteen feet, with conditions for return if not built and for quiet possession by the Justices. If Wood later gains a better title, he must provide a new title within a year. The obligation stands if conditions are unmet.
