On 20 January 1842, Isaac Galland appointed Remick as his attorney with authority to recover or sell any of the Iowa Territory lands for which Galland was a trustee, amounting to roughly 119,000 acres. On 1 September 1842, Jacob and Hannah Shaw Remick transferred property in Iowa Territory to JS in two transactions. One of the deeds, for $12,500, conveyed about 20,000 acres that Galland had deeded to church member Vinson Knight in 1839. The second, for $20,000, transferred to JS the “undivided half part in common” of all of Remick’s remaining land in the Half-Breed Tract except for a few parcels of land that Remick had already conveyed to other people. Remick’s September 1842 transfers to JS were quitclaim deeds, meaning that the transfer documents did not include any legal warranty that Remick owned the title to these lands, merely that he was conveying to JS any interest Remick may have had in these properties. Consequently, JS’s deed to John Smith would also have to be, as it declares itself, a quitclaim deed.
