According to Ancestry's concise Genealogical Dictionary by Harris:
"The means of conveying title to freehold estates in medieval England, requiring the livery of
seisin :(a ceremony where the person selling property would stand at the site in the presence of neighboring tenants and point out the boundaries to the purchaser. The seller would then hand to the buyer the symbol of seisin, often a twig and clump of earth from the land purchased, to bind the agreement.)"

Subject: Deed Terms
Below is an abstracted entry from the Caroline Co VA
Order Books.
"Court of 10 Oct 1740: William Robards and Mary his wife
acknowledge their deed of feoffment with liv[very and] seizin
endorsed and receipt to John Adam Linck."
I can't seem to find any definition of the term "feoffment".
"[F]Seossment" is not familiar to me either.
