Additional Comments:
Found in Gordon County Deed Book A Page 95
Deed is only indexed under grantor name of Michael Towland.

On the same page following the deed is a release from the Monroe County Inferior Court allowing the land "belonging to said Minors" to be sold, listed as January Term 1850. Following that is acknowlegement "to be a true copy taken from the minutes of said Court this 11th day of October 1850."
