Note: transcribed by D.K. Pritchett on 23 June 2016, from document (copy) of handwritten manuscript, from Deed Book X, page 578. I tried to follow exact spelling and syntax, but punctuation is not always clear. The original has dots for periods, commas, and stray marks.

Genealogy Note: The grantee would be William Houston Dunn, son of Joseph Perry Dunn. This information is not contained in the deed; he is just listed as W.H. Dunn.
