@dave-karoly Dave, here’s the link I posted above in my initial response to the “decided law” cry. 2017. https://caselaw.findlaw.com/vt-supreme-court/1858127.html
@ashton My opinion, for what its worth, is that we (you) can use the subsequent deeds written by Wheeler to inform about his intent when describing C. As I see it, he thought the Town owned it in fee (although many don’t even consider “ownership” of a road) and ultimately created an orphaned strip at which point the doctrine-of-the-centerline would apply. If A’s or B’s deeds had included the road, they would only reinforce the intent of C’s deed. But they don’t, they only point out that Wheeler didn’t know what to do with the road. Absent deeds A & B, I’d ask Wheeler
