Lists the deeds and other paperwork from the Flucker estate. Interspersed are Knox's notes, many of them on the margins. The notes relate how valuable the property is in his eyes and also mentions any legal updates on specific pieces of property. Many of the deeds go back as far as the 1720s and 1730s, but the oldest one listed deals with the original deed to New Harbour in 1625. Knox numbers what appears to be the more valuable documents 201-214. The miscellaneous papers, seemingly of lesser importance, are marked 300-320 and deal with issues such as leases, mortgages, deeds for small plots of land, bills of sale, and insurance. Only has partial docket.
Circa date range established from the year Henry Knox began his land dealings to the year of his death.
