 This is a Deed of Land dated 28 February, 1901 between David Winter, the younger, of Richmond Township, Lennox & Addington Co. and Mary Ella his wife, and Charles O'Ray.

The witness is Stenographer Gertrude Elizabeth Walker of Napanee.
A sum of $2,225.00 exchanges hands for the East 1/2 of East 3/4 of Lot 16, Concession 6, Richmond Township
 
Lorine's Research:

A preliminary search on Ancestry.com reveals that  in the 1901 census for Richmond Township, David Winter, 39, and his wife Mary E., 31, lived beside Charles O'Rae [sic] and his wife Margaret, both age 50. Both men were listed as farmers.

More documents will follow as I scan them and extract their details. Clicking on the label Lennox-Addington Collection will allow you to see all that have been published on Olive Tree Genealogy blog.
