Notes: This was typed as it was written. The notes below are a few correction to simply.
Unity Shuffield is the correct first party not Unicy as in the signature line.
J.R. (possibly K – unclear) Bearden is the correct second party not Beardey as stated once above.
Henry Shuffield is the witness not Henry Shuffiel.
Also – this transaction took place in Nov 1856 and was not recorded in Lumpkin County until Aug 1890. That is no typo there is a 34 years gap???Submitted by Tracey Bean
