Dear List,
Here are the highlights of the 3 deeds I have now finished transcribing.
Yesterday, I misread the word ''Described'' as ''Dixieland'' so that tract
name has nothing to do with any of the following. Sorry for any confusion.
The land only seems to be known by the name ''Lot No. 2''. The full
transcription of the 3 deeds/indentures runs about 7 pages and I would be
happy to send it to anyone who requests it from me.
