Know all men by these presents that I, Alma R. P. Other
sometimes known as Alma R. Ford, of Charlestown, Rhode Island,
hereinafter called the Grantor in consideration of the sum of one
dollar to me paid by Emma A. Tucker of said Charlestown,
hereinafter called the Grantee the receipt hereof is hereby acknowledged,
do hereby remise, release and forever quit claim unto the said
Grantee, her heirs and assigns forever, all the right title interest
property claim and demand whatever I now have or of right oughts
to have or claim in and to a certain tract of land with the
improvements thereon, situate in the town of Charlestown, in the
State of Rhode Island, described as follows Beginning at a stone
post on the Northerly side of the Bell Road at the Southeaster corner
of said Road, thence running Easterly by and with said Bell Road
one hundred ninety five feet to land of Asa Church; thence Northerly
one hundred fifty feet; thence Westerly one hundred seventy five
feet; thence Southerly one hundred forty five feet to line of beginning,
bounded Easterly, Northerly and Westerly by lands of Asa Church and
Southerly by the Bell Road. This deed of give and grant for the
purpose of correcting and amplifying a certain other deed to this
Grantee from this Grantor and her executrix or assigns in her stead,
dated October 7, 1935 and recorded in the Town Clerk's office under read
beal volume 22 at page 58, in which said former deed the
Grantor deposited herself as a married woman under the name of
Alma R. Ford, At the time of making said deed she misrepresented that
she was a married woman by reason of a certain pretended
marriage ceremony as she lived together with one John H. Ford
in Somerville, Massachusetts on or about June 17, 1892, but she now
learns that at the time of giving said former deed she was not
a married woman, because her pretended marriage to said Ford
was a nullity for the reason that he then had a wife living, and so
this Grantor could not and did not become his wife, either
page 2

by reason of a ceremonial marriage or by reason of a common law marriage.
This grantor learned these facts since the making of said former deed to this
grantee, & with after filing her petition for divest from said Ford in the
Superior Court of Rhode Island state and for the county of Washington, Massachusetts
by her and through her attorney with the proper authorities in Massachusetts
discovered these facts, this grantor therefore hereby covenants to and with this
grantee & the same and at the time of the expiration of said former deed to
said daughter of the premises described herein war a sizable amount.
To have and to hold the same, with all rights, privileges and
appurtenances heretofore mentioned appurtenant, unto and to the use of the said
grantee her heirs and assigns forever. And I the aforementioned
grantor for myself and my heirs, executors and administrators, do
covenant with the said grantee her heirs and assigns, that I will
warrant and defend the aforementioned premises unto the said grantee, her
heirs and assigns forever, against the lawful claims and demands of
all persons whomsoever. Through or under me.
In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and seal this
7th day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred
and twenty seven.
