Error factor of 100
Found a deed from about 1875 with a major error. Links were used where chains were intended. You start off two links north of the south section line then run east 14.87 links, then north…………….(and so forth)……………….being four acres. Said tract to be known as Lot 2.
All later deeds call it Lot 2.
The tract to the south starts at the south section line and runs north 8 rods. The tract to the north begins at a distance of 8 rods plus the true width of Lot 2.
