I am assuming the deed meant square feet as well. The sides were 21, 16,
21, 16.
Anyone who would like to see the deed transcription it's at:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rutherfordcemetery/EDDE/p9.htm
It's the deed between James Edde and Frances Mary.
The link to the plot is right below the box. Which brings up another
question. How do we indicate that the image was created in DeedMapper?
Surely one should give credit on the image.

Subject: Re: [DMU] Feet instead of acres
An acre is 43560 sq ft. So .01 acre would be 435.60 sq ft - about 100
sq ft more than your 336. You did mean 336 SQUARE feet, didn't you? That
might have been a building 18 feet wide by 18.5 feet long - or 16.5 feet
wide by 20 feet long - or any combination where the length times the
width equals about 336. That's about the size of a 2 car garage - maybe
a little smaller. But if 336 was the number of feet around the perimeter
- just plain feet, not square feet - each side would have been
considerably longer.

I have a deed measured in feet. The total acreage is 336 ft according

the
deed. Deed mapper says it is .01 acres. How can I determine if these

areas are close to being the same? This is a town lot that had a saddle
shop on it. Is this a large enough are in 1812 for a saddle shop? She
only
paid $31 for the lot so I am assuming that it was small even by that

standards.
