You can find a handy dictionary of genealogy & archaic terms I've put together at:

Feoffment is included.

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.
