Any edition of Black's Law Dictionary will explain these terms.

I understand these terms. My question concerned WHO inherited the property 
they are selling and what might the circumstances have been. I have rarely 
seen deeds in this time frame where both the husband AND wife signed. Yes, 
I've seen many releases of dower but that is not what this is, IMO. Why was 
she required to sign? Because it was SHE who inherited?
