If you sold 2 tracts, but the deed describes only one, then chances are there was a survey used that showed both tracts, which I assume are contiguous...and the title company or person who prepared the deed used the survey to prepare a perimeter description, which would include both interior parcels...so the purchaser would own both lots.
And if you intended to sell both lots, and they intended to buy both lots and paid for them, they own it.? The deed could be as described above, or it could be deemed a scribner's error and need to be corrected.? So you could create a second deed to clear up any confusion, or they can sue for clear title.
==Additional Answer== If your negotiations with the purchaser included two tracts and only one was described in the deed then title to the second tract is still in your name. In Massachusetts that type of scrivener's error is a common cause of title defects. The only way real property is conveyed is by deed. You must execute a corrective deed granting title to the second tract.

Does a warranty deed supersede a land patent?

Yes. Today, anyone who owns their land by virtue of a warranty deed is the legal owner of that land. A past patent holder extinguished their interest by conveying any portion by a deed.Land patents were typically huge tracts of land that were subdivided into smaller parcels as they were conveyed out from the original tract. An owner by deed is the legal owner of the property. All the deeds forward from the original patent comprise the title to the property.A land patent is the highest title to land that was originally acquired within the bounds of the United States by the individual person or private land company named on the patent. Patents were granted by state and federal governments and by sovereigns (especially English sovereigns) before there was a US government. Grantees generally acquired huge tracts of land, sometimes thousands or millions of acres) which they then could subdivide and make a huge profit. Generally that original tract was broken up into smaller parcels, typically by deeds and land grants, and the transfers that followed constitute the title to the various tracts as they were subdivided and conveyed forward to become the residential lots and other tracts we have today.
