            appeared Mrs Margaret Sarah C. Lawton wife of Joseph
            Lawton of Charleston to my satisfaction proved to be the
            person described in and who executed the annexed re-
            nunciation of dower and being by me examined privately
            separately and apart from her husband acknowledged
            the same to be her act and deed; and she did at the
            same time acknowledge that the said relinquishment
            and renunciation of dower was and is made freely and
            voluntarily and without any compulsion, constraint ap=
            prehension or fear of or from her said husband and
            the said acknowledgement was made in the presence
            of Samuel Pearce and Joseph Battersby who have
            subscribed their names as witnesses: and at the same
            time came the said Joseph Battersby who being duly
            sworn upon the Holy Gospels did depose and say
            that he knew the person then present making the said
            acknowledgement to be the individual described in and
            who executed the said relinquishment, which to me
            is satisfactory proof
