Well we know Farkel lives in the area. Maybe we can ask him to go see if he can get some copies for us.Along with the documents I got from apostanator are two forms for the requests for the documents.The first is the request for the 1953 document where Francis S. Hankins GRANTED to Davidson as file# 152541 and also on the same sheet is the request where "Davidson GRANTED to his son in 1955 as file #145391. The fees for the copies were $2.50 for the first copy and $2.00 for the second.The second sheet is for the copy of "The property referred to as Beth Sarim was sold by the Davidsons to Clarence > Ching and Elizabeth Ann Ching by deed in 1960 (12871) "A photocopy of this cost $1.50.The (12871) refers to thefile number.I would post these but they have the name of the person who was able to get these copies. I have no ides who this is but it could be just another researcher like us. There also is no date on either of these two papers.
I tried to do an online search for the property records in San Diego but from what I was able to find you have to go there to get the papers. Maybe someone who knows a bit more about this can find out how to get it.
One other thing that I discovered. On the Hankins to Davidson document it refers to the property as "lot 23 of Rancho Ex-Mission of San Diego" I was curious about what this was and if it referred to the property being turned into a mission. What I discovered was that before the entire area where San Diego resides the area was called Rancho Ex-Mission from before the "Yankees" arrived.http://www.americassuburb.com/timeline.html.So it has nothing to do with the who bought it before but rather who owned the land in all the surrounding area - Mexico!
