releasing lands
Tipperary
My ancestors William Woodward the elder and William Woodward the younger lived at Cloghprior in Co Tipperary in the 1700's
I have transcriptions of deeds mostly dated 1774 whereby they release (or sometimes granted) Cloghprior lands to other gentlemen
Eg "22 June 1774 William Woodward the father released unto William Woodward his son part of the middle Division of Cloghprior 157 Acres for ever"
and "20 June 1774 William Woodward the father, his wife and son granted to John Levinge and Paul Rogers lands of Cloghprior and Ballybeg upon trust"
My questions are - do these deeds mean that the Woodwards were leasing lands to to these others?
Sometimes the deeds conclude with the words "in trust". what does this mean?
