This new document shows Levi, Tamison, Susan Greenleaf and her husband Humphrey Lane, Jacob Greenleaf and Polly reselling the same property to Stephen Bartlett for the sum of four hundred and twenty dollars. The record helps us know that some or all of Tamizen's living siblings are Susan Greenleaf who married Humphrey Lane, a mariner and Jacob Greenleaf, a shipwright who married Polly. It also lets us know that this land was originally deeded to Thomas Greenleaf (Tamison's father) in 1790.
