Capt. Bazalgette to David Acres -- Deed

(There is a discrepancy in the name of the person being deeded this property. The actual written deed indicates the refugee's name to be James Davis, whereas, the Transcribe instructions show Daniel Acres. What would be the cover of the deed also names Daniel Acres rather than James Davis.)
