Additional Comments:
Note from the transcriber:  This research and transcription of records has been a labor of love.  This land lottery deed can be found in the LDS Library located in Salt Lake City, UT.  This same land will be later sold by my ancestor, James Farmer (Thomas James Farmer, Sr.) in 1832, to James G. Christian.  I am still looking for the land deed that will show James Farmer purchasing this land.  Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
