REAL ESTATE

BOUGHT AND SOLD

BY

HUGH GAINE

Reference is made to the real estate investments of Hugh Gaine in the preceding sketch of his life (pages 8 and 66) where certain details and advertisements are printed. Supplementary to these, there is added here the text of the deed of the property known as "The Bible and Crown in Hanover Square," and the transfers of real estate to and from Gaine, or his heirs and assigns, as recorded in the volumes of the “Index of Conveyances." The survey of “The Bible and Crown," here reproduced, was part of the Bancker collection, and is now in the Gordon L. Ford collection in the New York Public Library. The name of Hugh Gaine on it is in Gaine's own writing. In Valentine's New York Manual for 1861 there is a map of the common lands, made in 1796, which shows the Gaine farm or country place described at page 66 of the present volume.
