Sale of Colts In a legal transaction made Oct 1860, John sold and financed 2 colts and a half-share in a Many Reaper for $150 at 6% interest to Mary Rainford. "One Cream Colored Horse colt this years old last spring one roan mare colt one year old last spring. Also the undivided one half of a Many Reaper ." John's sister Margaret had married Dr George Rainford, the father of Mary Rainford. Interesting because Mary was 20 years old and single. Whatever a Many Reaper is, she apparently needed to use it for the colts.
