Variant spelling of 'conusee'; the person who receives a legal acknowledgment in a deed.

An alternative spelling of 'conusee' found in some older English legal documents, reflecting variations in spelling conventions before standardization.

Kelly Says

Medieval spelling was wonderfully flexible—the same legal term might appear as 'conusee,' 'conuzee,' or 'connusee' in documents from the same courthouse, which is why historians studying old deeds need serious patience.
