The most commonly recorded deed is a deed of bargain and sale, in which one individual sells property, usually land, but occasionally personal property, to another individual.

What happens if the wife of the grantor does not appear in court?

If the wife of the grantor or whoever held the dower claim did not appear in court to relinquish her right, the court appointed two or more individuals to go to her and inquire privately if she did indeed understand and approve of the sale. Such relinquishments were not always recorded with the deeds.
