1874 Book of Mortgages snippet Recovered text indicates: - parties include Nary P. Cole and C. W. Cole of Albion, N.Y. to Cyrus Whitney and Timothy W. Skinner of Oswego Co., N.Y. - amount: $1800.00 - acknowledged April 1, 1874 - recorded April 2, 1874 in Book of Mortgages 101, page 303 Why this matters: - independently supports Timothy W. Skinner as an active attorney/business figure in the relevant period - aligns with the nomination narrative stating he joined Judge Cyrus Whitney in the law and banking firm of Whitney & Skinner - this is indirect support for the Timothy W. Skinner biography connected to the house, even though it does not identify the house address itself Saved image evidence: - assets/images/historic/1874-book-of-mortgages-timothy-w-skinner.png
