5. Presumably that of Jan. 4 above.
6. For the little we know about Joseph King see above, XIX, 367 n. About Joseph Mitchell, a new mortgager, we know nothing; he may or may not have been the man of that name who wrote BF in 1788 about other land transactions, and signed himself “a Decriped being this many years.” 1 Pa. Arch., XI, 253–5.
