Some genealogists avoid deeds unless they know an inheritance is being settled. This 1875 deed was drawn up after the sellers had moved to their new residence. The acknowledgement indicated the county in which they were living at the time, thus documenting the move and the new residence. If I had not located the deed, I might have never known they spent  few years in Mendota, Illinois. By 1880, they had moved to another location.
