Usually marginal notes refer to some later action regarding a deed, just as
the note indicates in your case. My question is was the deed, written in
1745, actually filed in 1745 or was it filed in 1758 at the time this
action took place. Just because a deed is dated doesn't mean that it was
filed at that time, which is the reason sometimes we have to look far
beyond the date of the actual transfer of the land to find the deed. This
happens particularly when land has passed down through the family, but when
the time comes that the controlling family member wants to sell it outside
the family, then the deed is recorded to help show a clear title.
