I didn’t see any actual date on the note except for 1861-1865.. so what I think happened was that this person got the original note that was hand written and so doing could not read it so he typed it later after the war...
This would have been the work of a copyist in later years, right? I believe original records were re-copied according to standard formats to facilitate later retrieval and research. Thus the typewritten format. The 100-year age and the reference to Plymouth and the Mayflower got me wondering whether the copyist was playing a little joke.
